lpv:translated text	"Mr President, as regards the economic aspect, I can only congratulate Mr Garot on his articulate and accurate report. It is a report, which, not least, rekindles some of the issues and questions that we have put to the Commission during the current term: for example, the establishment of sectoral contracts to increase the level of quality, if necessary, but in any case to guarantee quality in agriculture; access to the European market for products from third countries that are subject to the same standards as European products; and a crisis management system. Furthermore, the report calls for consideration of the fact that the reduction and the fall in agricultural prices has not in fact had any effect on consumption. Having said that, however, and at a purely theoretical level – and all the members of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development know my position as regards the proposal for mid-term revision – I believe that we have taken on a huge responsibility, the effects of which we will be able to analyse only in a few years’ time, since the formula chosen for regulating the markets and stabilising prices – aid for production that is direct, fixed and de-coupled – will lead us to gradually dismantle the agricultural sector. We made choices based on a vision rather than on a foreign policy as regards Cancún. We have seen the results of Cancún, and we have seen how the talks at Geneva have been resumed. Among other things, I believe that some figures in the Garot report – the 7% increase in agricultural prices from 1995 to 2002 – refer to historical prices and do not, for example, take into account the inflation rate that has a marked effect upon agricultural prices. The whole of the agricultural situation projected until 2011 in the European Union is, in my opinion, very much more sensitive, and with much more complicated rules, than the situation presented by Mr Garot."@en1
