"Mr President, I have attended two important events this month. One was the conference on the simplification of the common agricultural policy organised by the European Commission, and the other was the Conference of European Farmers, held under the auspices of COPA/COGECA. It was repeatedly stated that what Europe needs is a clearly defined strategy for agriculture and the future of its farmers. What is it actually getting? Wave after wave of reforms churned out every few years. Farmers need stability to be able to plan production and investment. We would do well to remember that if it is denied aid of any kind, European agriculture will have great difficulty in competing with products imported from other countries. Europe is already at a disadvantage, because the requirements imposed on our farmers are much stricter, and their production conditions are often more difficult. It is therefore incumbent on us to enlighten the citizens and also certain Members of this House as to why we have a common agricultural policy, what its benefits are and why consumers have to pay its costs."@en1
