"Having cotton production in the European Union is not an end in itself. The Union must view the world cotton market as a whole and give EU consumers the opportunity to buy cotton as cheaply as possible without the consideration of where it has been produced, provided it has been produced under certain ethical and environmentally sound conditions.
I am strongly opposed to this report. I would observe, once again, that it is fortunate that the European Parliament does not have powers of co-decision on EU agricultural policy. Otherwise, the EU would fall into the trap of protectionism and of heavy subsidies to all of the various groups within the agricultural industry."@en1
