"Farmers have suffered terrible losses not just in Poland, but in Hungary too. Many farmers have had their crops totally destroyed.
What is clear from what the gentleman has said is that the common agricultural policy currently offers farmers fairly limited prospects. It goes without saying that current legal regulations, first and foremost, make Member States responsible for providing assistance to those farmers in dire straits. This, it would seem, is the issue which has primarily to be resolved in Warsaw and Budapest. However, we need to change this in the future. The common agricultural policy has the chance to do some good here. In other words, we cannot regard natural disasters as a calculable risk concomitant with the operation of the market and agricultural production.
The European Union must show solidarity with farmers. We must endeavour to create in the future at, European level, an institution for providing mutual assistance, which we also need because, if the resolution of these issues basically continues to remain under the Member States' jurisdiction in the future, this will create disparities, where the various Member States may each respond to these issues in a different way. Farmers in some countries will receive assistance, while farmers in other countries will not, which means that the requirement for equal conditions of competition will not be met.
For this reason, I am asking the European Commission to table this proposal as soon as possible, which will help create a European institution for providing mutual assistance."@en1
