"(
) I think that fundamental restructuring of agricultural policy is required regarding the various quotas, quantity allocations, restrictions and different incentives not to produce food. I am also interested to see how much untilled arable land there still is in Europe. I fully support the statement made by Mr Nicholson, that agricultural production in Europe should be stimulated, and that incentives for halting a reduction in the agricultural sector should be considered. The young are leaving, so who will remain to work the land?
The fact that there is a shortage of food does not mean that the gates should be opened wide to genetically modified agricultural products. Also, I think that we need to revise our expectations regarding biofuels, and that on domestic markets we ought to examine why it is that high prices always bring superstores the highest profits. In brief, I anticipate that the European Commission will prepare immediate measures, as well as a strategy for this new situation."@en1
