"We Moderates think it is wrong to use public funds to subsidise advertisements for agricultural products, both within the EU and in the rest of the world. Via the Commission, the EU now advertises agricultural products such as tulip bulbs and olive oil at a cost of between EUR 60 and 70 million per year.
Products that are competitive manage perfectly well without these public funds, while products for which there is no demand should not be propped up in this way, using taxpayers’ money.
We are abstaining in today’s vote, since the choice is between two alternatives that both involve continued subsidy for advertising agricultural products."@en1
