lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I would first of all like to congratulate the rapporteur on a very good report. He is a very experienced Member of this House and I would have expected nothing less from him. There is no doubt that the need to streamline decision-making and removing red tape from the common agricultural policy is a primacy of importance. It is my view that if we have to harmonise – and we must have harmonisation – we should always harmonise up to the best possible standard. It is clear that better regulation can be achieved. I do not want more and more civil servants – let me make that very clear – either in Brussels or in Member States making more difficulties for the farmers trying to do their job on the ground, creating and developing more problems than we would like to solve. Yes, we need better regulation, but we also need more transparency. I share Mr Busk’s view on the need to keep intervention for pig meat, because this sector does – as we have experienced on numerous occasions – from time to time go into over-production, which is very difficult to control. I believe that, for short periods, we require support in that sector. I also believe that it would be going much too far, in the short term, to reduce the advisory committees, as we require a high degree of expertise on what can be extremely delicate issues. I would give qualified support to the Commission to consolidate the existing 21 regulations. It is my belief that we need less regulation, not more. This is a welcome start, and I trust we can look forward to the health check to bring forward even more deregulation. Let us destroy red tape in the common agricultural policy forever."@en1
