I should like to welcome Agnes Schierhuber’s report on the Commission’s proposal for the EAFRD. I endorse the view expressed in her report, which sees the Commission’s proposal as positive, but in need of some specific improvements.
I welcome the Commission’s proposals that aim to enhance the environment and the countryside through support for land management. Equally important is the aim of enhancing the quality of life in rural areas and promoting diversification of economic activities, through measures targeting farm sector and rural actors. I also welcome the fact that through the establishment of a single rural development fund, bureaucracy and duplication are reduced.
I welcome the proposals in Mrs Schierhuber’s report to promote equality of opportunity and the participation of women in farming and in the wider rural economy. Support for organic farming is also important.
The Commission’s proposed budget of EUR 88.75 billion for 2007-2013 at 2004 prices was also welcome. We would still face considerable problems even with this amount. It is vital that such funds are used to meet the objectives of improving the quality of life of our family farming communities and the protection of our rural environment.
There is a need for the aims and objectives of Natura 2000 to be mainstreamed into all aspects of EU agricultural and rural development policy and funding. Farmers, foresters and other land managers should be appropriately supported for protecting and maintaining Natura 2000 sites. Resources should be put into the fund for the 2007-2013 period that will enable this to happen. Otherwise, we seriously run the risk of repeating past mistakes.
