lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, thank you very much for being here with us this evening. I hope that you will communicate to the Commission the clear and firm message that this Parliament is against the postponement of the reform of the fruit and vegetables sector, announced by yourself a short time ago. The fruit and vegetables sector is active in practically every country of the European Union and it suffers from the same problems everywhere. The current COM has proven to be effective, but it needs to be improved and a new system must be introduced that is more effective at managing crises and specific measures must be implemented for products that are subject to strong import pressures. That is not protectionism. I am from Castilla-La Mancha, which is a great garlic-producing region. Garlic is an example of a product that has to deal with ferocious imports, mainly from China, which threaten the survival of many farms. I am delighted that the report takes up measures in favour of this category of products and at the same time advocates a simplification of the import system in force, in order to prevent the irregularities we are witnessing as a result of the existence of three different formulae that operators may employ, as they wish, thus promoting fraudulent practices about which the sector has on occasions complained to the European Commission. I also agree with the raft of proposals included in the report to improve the competitiveness of the sector and to take the best possible advantage of the budget available, which is underused year after year as a result of the lack of flexibility of the current COM. The failings of the system, such as a large amount of bureaucracy, the legal insecurity of the producers’ associations and the Community's lack of generosity in terms of incentivising the concentration of supply, are the main reasons why the system implemented in 1996 has become inefficient. This means that funds are not being used properly, and I hope that this problem will be resolved by means of the new proposal."@en1
