".
I come from a country, Portugal, and more specifically from a region, Madeira, in which the wine sector plays a highly significant economic role.
Although I acknowledge the need for far-reaching and ambitious reform of the common organisation of the market in wine, in order to modernise it and to adapt it to the development of the Community market and to the pressure of international competition, some of the solutions put forward by the Commission in its Communication of 22 June 2006 – especially that of permanent abandonment – do not resolve the problem of surplus production and do not address the challenge of competitiveness that European winemaking faces on the world market. Rather, they threaten European (quality) winemaking potential, hamper the sustainability of the Community winemaking sector and damage the stability of winemakers.
As Mrs Batzeli, whom I congratulate, says in her report, ‘the issue of permanent abandonment of wine-growing must not be the centrepiece of the CMO reform’. The report contains a sensible analysis of the Commission’s proposals and presents a range of most timely suggestions.
I therefore voted in favour."@en1
