lpv:translated text	". Madam President, I should like to join in the rapporteur’s protest. A Commissioner who is always present and regularly attends the committee meetings is being silenced this evening after five minutes! We had to wait for her fellow-Commissioner, Mr Frattini, for 10 minutes during this afternoon’s vote, and he was given 15 minutes’ speaking time. This Commissioner is always present, whatever time slot she is given. The fact that we hold debates on agricultural policy at 11.30 at night is nothing to do with her, but with your agenda. I join in that protest and I will also report this to the chairman of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development tomorrow. I will presently turn to the subject in hand, but I would first like to repeat my strong condemnation of the silencing of a Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development who did not ask for this time slot, but who is nevertheless here and seriously engaging with us in debate. The time at which she is here is not of her choosing but is the choice of your Bureau. The Commissioner said that she understands Parliament’s wishes. The essence of the subject we are discussing today is that import products must meet the requirements of production in the European Union. That is essential and that has been clearly stated in the report. My group, the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, is pleased with the outcome in the Agricultural Committee and what has been discussed there is reflected in amendments. I should like to add a remark of a political nature. In the forthcoming world trade agreements, it is essential that import products meet the same requirements as European products. That applies not only to organic agriculture but also to agriculture as a whole. I hope that we in this House will give sufficient backing to the Agriculture Commissioner on that point, also giving our support in the discussion at Commission level involving her fellow-Commissioner Mr Mandelson. I should like to thank the rapporteur for his report, and I shall advise my group to vote in favour of the report as amended in the Agricultural Committee."@en1
