lpv:translated text	". I believe that multifunctionality in farming must have a place in the process of reforming the CAP, and I think that the Council and the Commission must accept this idea. The social, environmental and territorial effects of farming have not, in fact, been given the attention they deserve by the Community institutions, whose farming policies have largely focused on qualitative and economic issues. It would only be fair to emphasise that the hard-to-measure public goods and positive externalities that result from conventional farming far exceed its direct economic benefits. It is therefore right that particular attention should be paid to the rural population, that practical measures falling outside the sphere of rural development should be adopted and that the preservation of farming should be encouraged and supported, given the importance at local level of farms. Production must also be geared towards sustainable and high-quality development. I also agree with the rapporteur’s view that the need to deal with the unpredictable swings of competition in a market in the process of being liberalised must be compatible with the crucial presence of a sufficient number of farmers to ensure proper countryside management. I have therefore voted in favour of the report."@en1
