".
The reform of the common market organisations for Mediterranean products follows on logically from the reform of the common agricultural policy inaugurated in Luxembourg in June 2003, being similarly based on the decoupling of aid and the transfer of funds to the second pillar.
The CPNT delegation has always opposed this reform and continues to make its opposition to it extremely clear. Particularly in the tobacco sector, the decoupling of aid will bring about the end of this activity, which has, up until now, provided many jobs. What will become of these agricultural workers when their strength is no longer required? Rural development is not about killing off a sector, but rather about maintaining jobs in order to keep our countryside alive.
Given the choice between the total and partial decoupling of aid, we would prefer aid to be partially decoupled; were we to be asked to choose between this reform being implemented at once or deferring it, we would prefer a further short respite. This is why, faced with the Commission’s proposals, we are resigned to having to vote in favour of the rapporteur’s text. It is in this state of mind, fearful and yet still no less combative, that we see the forthcoming reform of the common market organisation for sugar looming ahead of us."@en1
