"The common agricultural policy budget is not all that it seems. Its increase, as a gross figure, is half due to the significant increase in the amounts given over to rural development. European agriculture should not, however, need this intervention. It should be able to live from the sale of its products.
Quality products should be openly encouraged: what is EUR 500 000 for looking into the possibility of creating European quality labels? Why has aid to young farmers finally been cut back compared to the initial draft budget, when these young people represent our farming future? For years the proportion of the European budget going towards the agriculture budget has been steadily decreasing. Today, the European Union is not using all of its room for manoeuvre to finance a genuine agricultural policy, which would be capable of responding to the new challenge of enlargement. This is why my group and I will vote against this report."@en1
