"Before I call the Commissioner, perhaps I might be permitted a personal comment. I have been a Member of this House for some time, and rarely have I experienced such an interesting and committed debate, but it is one that I also regard as an example of Europeanisation and globalisation. Only a few years ago, when we spoke in terms of ‘us’, each of us meant his or her own nation, and, even so, we had exactly the same problems with mutual recognition, designations of origin, certification, and mandatory labelling. All these things we once fought long and hard to secure for Europe, and now it seems that we have to do the same again for a global market that has shrunk. The American Professor Jeremy Rifkin is quite right to say that Europeans are best equipped, by reason of these laborious experiences of things that the world is now having to get to grips with, to deal with these problems, for we have been through them already and know how they need to be addressed. Now, Commissioner, we are all agog to learn how you propose to sort out the problems with wine. Everyone present – including the spectators – knows how important wine is to their own winegrowers. How, then, Commissioner, are we to solve these problems?"@en1
