"Mr President, in Mr Jørgensen’s report consideration has quite rightly been given – following the opinion of the Court of Auditors – to the problems of funding the common agricultural policy, and specifically to the fact that some of its beneficiaries have nothing to do with agriculture. Golf clubs, cricket clubs, horse riding clubs, leisure parks – may they prosper, but not on common agricultural policy funds.
This afternoon in this House we shall be debating the food crisis and the rise in food prices, and surely one of the reasons for this crisis is that EU funds that should be used to to support agriculture are being used to support completely different businesses that can manage perfectly well without this help. This is why I am fully behind the conclusions contained in Articles 99 and 100 of Mr Jørgensen’s report, which point to the need for changes in the funding of the common agricultural policy to ensure that aid is chanelled only to real farmers – those who use the land for agricultural purposes – and these changes must be introduced as soon as possible."@en1
