"Mr President, evictions are a very emotive issue in Ireland given our long and painful history, so it is with some regret that we have seen the question come to the fore again in recent times, particularly last week on the streets of Dublin. This poster reads ‘Stop Mandelson’s evictions’ and it represents the voice of 5000 farmers last week. A colleague spoke about it earlier. There is a real fear that what is happening at the WTO will mean the death knell for many farmers, not just in Ireland, but throughout the European Union.
I have three messages for the Commission at WTO level. Any deal on agriculture cannot come at any price: it must be balanced and fair. Where there is increased market access we must be sensitive to some products; if the markets are to be destabilised we have to bring in mechanisms to control that destabilisation. And I would suggest that the EU should only import food produced under the standards it demands of its own producers, and not accept lower standards in relation to animal welfare, food safety and the environment."@en1
