"Mr President, the political agreement reached by the Agriculture Ministers − including the Spanish Socialist Minister, for which she should have been dismissed − will undoubtedly be adopted at the end of the month among points A of the agenda, that is to say without any debate whatsoever. There is no need, everything has been debated.
Unfortunately, the discussion we are holding today in the European Parliament will have no impact on the final decision. In the future, we must prevent Parliament's voice from being ignored again in such a blatant manner, particularly on decisions with such significant economic and social importance. To this end, however, the European Commission must not use any excuse it likes to ignore the opinion of Parliament, as it has done on this occasion.
I would like to make it clear, in case there is still any doubt, that this report, which will be put to the vote on Thursday, is a very long way from the political agreement reached by the Member States, with regard both to sugar prices and to compensation for farmers or the Member States' freedom to maintain part of the coupled aid, which in the agreement amongst the 25 in the Council is not taken up. Parliament’s report distributes the efforts for reducing production in a fairer manner, by removing the additional allocation of a million tonnes previously known as ‘C’.
These are just a few of the examples that we may find if we compare the different texts, but the list would get very much longer if we were to carry out a detailed analysis of the agreement.
In short, we do not like the reform, we did not like the European Commission’s reform because it was horrible. Nevertheless, the agreement that is going to be voted on in this Parliament on Thursday seems to us to be the least bad option."@en1
