"Mr President, the report mainly identifies the unfortunate position of women farmers. However, it does not highlight the causes or who is responsible for this situation. A conscientious effort is being made to disorientate by creating the impression in women farmers that their position can be improved within the framework of the even harsher anti-farming measures being promoted with the recent reform of the CAP.
The findings about the efficiency of programmes such as Leader I and II are also misleading. It is a known fact that these programmes refer to complementary actions as far as farming and rural development are concerned and the level of funding under the so-called second pillar is not only trivial, but also mainly profits those who exercise a business activity in the subsidised sectors of these programmes.
The report essentially accepts the supplementary and unequal role of women farmers in agricultural activity, as well as the effort to remove women in rural areas from agricultural employment, which is why they are being guided to similar activities. These proposals serve the European Union's objective to further shrink the agricultural population and desert rural areas, which already have huge abandonment problems, especially in Greece.
Finally, this being so, proposals such as creating crèches, cultural centres, public transport and so on range from the insignificant to the cynically hypocritical. Women farmers' acute problems are the result of the CAP and anti-farming policies. Consequently, only overturning them can safeguard the continuity of farming activity, a stable income and a dignified standard of living for women farmers."@en1
