"Mr President, it is useful to meet our constituents during the summer break, and in two-and-a-half hours last Friday I heard of the plight of Irish dairy farmers resulting from the over-severe implementation of CAP reform by the Commission and the Council. The implications of this are very traumatic, because incomes will fall despite the compensation that is on offer. To ask farmers to increase their scale to make up that difference is just neither practical nor possible.
I urge this House to stress to the Commission and the Council that, while we may be counting beans in terms of budgets, they are dealing with people and families and their actions are having a very severe impact on them. This is a matter I will be raising directly with the Committee on Agriculture.
I would stress again that these are difficult times for farmers. What the Commission is doing is over-severe, and it is particularly important that we watch the budget for 2007."@en1
