Mr President, unlike many economic activities, farming is, of course, done in the open air, which frequently places farmers at the mercy of climate-related disasters beyond their control.
Farmers who fall victim to such disasters must not be dependent on charity, be it at national or European level. They must be granted rights, so that there is a level playing field when it comes to such situations on European territory. This was my approach when, as rapporteur for the draft resolution on the agricultural element of natural disasters, which was adopted one year ago, one of the proposals I put forward was to set up a European insurance system with triple funding – farmers, Member States and the EU – to deal with precisely this type of situation.
Accordingly, in addition to supporting the call for solidarity with the farmers affected, I should like to ask the Commission if it intends to give tangible form to the proposal adopted by a resounding majority a year ago here in this Chamber. The proposal was designed to introduce this system of insurance and would not entail any increase in the Community budget. If it does intend to do so, when will it put forward a proposal to that end?"@en1
