"Mr President, it can be a fine line between transparency and infringement of privacy. Many farmers – in my view, quite rightly – will resent the details of their single farm payment being posted over the internet because of the distorted perception of free hand-outs which it creates.
The reality, of course, is that for most the single farm payment is in fact subsidising our cheap food policy. Take the beef sector. A task-force report in my constituency demonstrates that in that small area beef producers are losing EUR 260 million per annum. Only their single farm payment keeps them going by subsidising production.
So, when it is publicised that a farmer has received EUR 20 000, it misleads for there is no mention that at the same time he is losing EUR 40 000 or more in his production operation. To be fair, publication should be accompanied by typical profit-and-loss statistics from the commodity sales in each sector."@en1
