lpv:translated text	"Mr President, if negotiations are properly conducted, there is give and take. If Europe receives the measure with which it has already given, it ought therefore to get a lot in Cancun. Was not the avowed aim of the CAP reform to improve the Union’s negotiating position in the Doha round and not to define the agricultural policy the Europeans need? My question is therefore this. What substantial concessions is the Union asking from its partners in return for the cascade of unilateral concessions it has made since the end of the Uruguay round? I will mention a few: the ‘Everything But Arms’ initiative, the unilateral abolition of import duties on cereals from the Black Sea, the granting of tariff quotas, the decoupling of compensatory aid and the associated dismantling of our common organisation of agricultural markets. I hope that the Union is at least going to put the unfortunate Blair House Agreement back on the negotiating table, since it prevents us from pursuing a consistent policy for oilseed development and is causing our output to stagnate at a derisory million tonnes while world production is increasing by 5% a year and now exceeds 300 million tonnes. I also hope that the Commission will get the principle accepted that nations have a right to feed themselves, since this is a basic principle of food security in both quality and quantity terms. We must not in fact allow countries that are structural exporters to force us to give them a so-called right of access to the Community market for products in which the European Union has a production surplus or for products, Mr President, that we want strictly controlled, like GMOs."@en1
