lpv:translated text	"I have voted against all the amendments and, in the final vote, against the report since we are of the opinion that the EU is wrong to continue with, and give more aid to, tobacco plantations, olive groves and cotton production than was indicated in the Commission’s original proposal. We think that these subsidies should be phased out and the taxpayers’ money used more appropriately. The Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats sees increased subsidies as a problem of principle and, where tobacco is concerned, there are strong ethical arguments against the aid. Since many developing countries are entirely reliant on cotton production, EU aid distorts the competition. These countries are even less well placed than regions within the EU to solve the transitional problems that arise if part of the production is stopped."@en1
