lpv:spoken text	". Mr President, I wish to offer my sincere congratulations to the rapporteur for his excellent report on the Commission’s proposal to amend the current regulation relating to third-country farming and importation into the EU of organic products. It is clear for everyone to see that there is a worldwide growing demand for organic produce, and the EU Member States are no exception. The importation of organic products from third countries can thus be a very lucrative enterprise, but the current practices involving such importation are, sadly, not sufficient to necessarily guarantee the quality of a product. We therefore very much welcome this much-awaited Commission proposal. At the same time, we recognise that the proposal has a number of weak points and gaps, which the rapporteur has detected and seeks to correct through a number of amendments, all of which we find both rational and fair. The Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development has complemented his effort by also putting forward a series of valuable amendments. We have no strong objections to any of the amendments, but we wish to draw attention to the fact that the main problem relating to safeguarding the strict adherence to the regulations shortly to be made into EU legislation is that of implementation. This in fact is the weak link in bringing together many EU legislatures with application effectiveness. And we fear that, despite the undoubted improvements to be effected by the numerous amendments, this legislation will still be crippled by inefficiencies in actually and properly implementing it. Hoping that time proves me wrong, I once again congratulate the rapporteur on a job well done."@en1
