"Mr President, whilst I admire the way my colleagues have pursued the interests of farmers and share their anxiety about the future of farming, I cannot agree with the approach they outline in the resolution. I much prefer the approach outlined by the Commissioner this morning.
A 33% reduction in price support for sugar, a reduction in the quota and an end to export subsidies for sugar would all send a powerful signal to the Doha Development Round. If the Commissioner's timing can be adhered to and we can adopt our final proposal in November, this would create a very good environment in advance of the December Hong Kong meeting. It would help to obtain a settlement at that meeting and any settlement would benefit both the developing and the developed world. That would be good news.
My colleagues are also wrong about farmers, because their proposal would not provide certainty for farmers and would give them false expectations of the support they can expect in the future.
Finally, the 60% compensation scheme is equivalent to full compensation and the Commissioner should keep reiterating that."@en1
