".
The objective of the Commission proposal is to diminish Community production and increase imports from third countries. Rice is cultivated on pathogenic soils in the ΕU and Greece for which it is difficult to find an alternative solution. Thus, we consider unacceptable the quota of 203,000 hectares proposed for Greece, which is less than the previous quota, which we more than covered.
The proposed measures reduce the income of rice producers by increasing the profits of the trading industries, which will buy raw materials at derisory prices, given that the intervention prices will have a proportionate knock-on effect on commercial prices, without compensating for this reduction, despite the Commission's allegations to the contrary, allegations which are groundless, given that the rate of compensation is calculated on the basis of the difference between the intervention price before the revision and the private storage price after the revision.
The rapporteur's amendments, although more positive, are ultimately out of kilter with his objective findings about the state of this sector. He disagrees with the abolition of intervention, but accepts the drastic 50% reduction in intervention prices, which in essence cancels it out. He confirms the problem of abundant imports, but does not differentiate from the Commission's quotas. That is why, and because his proposals exacerbate rather than radically improve the situation, we shall not be voting in favour of the report."@en1
