"At a time when the EU is facing an upsurge in nationalist sentiment, the Commission’s proposal to introduce a voluntary modulation of direct payments within the framework of the common agricultural policy signals a new stage in the disintegration of Community solidarity.
Faced with this danger, Parliament had to respond and make its voice heard in order to reaffirm the commitment felt by the representatives of the European nations to defending the ‘common’ character of the EU’s public policies, of which the common agricultural policy is the most potent symbol and the most successful achievement.
With this in mind, I voted in favour of the Goepel report, which was presented today in plenary, and, in particular, in favour of the explicit request outrightly to reject the European Commission’s proposal.
This position, which expresses the opinion of the majority of Members present today, reflects Parliament’s clear and unambiguous desire not to betray its vision of the future Europe and not to make of the CAP an adjustment variable intended to compensate for the reprehensible weaknesses of a European budget crippled by the EU Member States’ lack of ambition.
It signals the demand to retain a system of support for producers. Based on the principle of equity, this alone is capable of guaranteeing the future survival of viable and competitive European agriculture characterised by solidarity."@en1
