".
On behalf of the seven Radical Members, we intend to declare our support for the amendments tabled by the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development with regard to the support system for the tobacco-growing sector.
We consider it necessary and urgent to replace the current common policy, which is needlessly costly for European taxpayers and consumers, harmful to the environment and for the very competitiveness and innovation of the agricultural sector and detrimental to the economies of the poorest countries.
In this context, the CAP reform proposed by the Commission based on the decoupling of subsidies and production, although totally inadequate, is a step in the right direction. Nevertheless, we do not support harsh discriminatory treatment to the detriment of tobacco growing expressly based on a ‘prohibitionist’ approach to the smoking phenomenon. Furthermore, we support the rapporteur’s position according to which eliminating aid for tobacco producers in no way amounts to combating smoking."@en1
