"Before the great budgetary turning point of 2013, which may signal the end of the CAP through creeping re-nationalisation, Member States are trying to reach agreement on a new reform of the CAP, subsequent to the covert one in 2003.
The declared objective of the Commission is to adapt even further to the market by reducing direct subsidies for environmental and rural development policies.
The reform, unfortunately, is not equal to the challenges facing Europe in the agricultural sphere: feeding nine billion people in 2050, occupying limited agricultural areas, the dependence on prices linked to speculation on agricultural raw materials, and so on.
In this fluctuating and uncertain context, we must defend the exception made for agriculture at the WTO insofar as agriculture and the food processing industry are not businesses like any others, but non-transferable production resulting from the know-how and genius of generations of farmers.
And what if the health check on the CAP were only the first step towards the complete liberalisation of the CAP, with no regulation and no safety net?
We must be vigilant and denounce any liberal drift on this issue, which does not mean failing to act."@en1
