lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy has changed the EU rules on the single payment scheme and has further decoupled the financial support which was previously linked to production. There are two premiums in the potato starch sector which are currently still linked to production. These are the production aid for growers of starch potatoes, in other words, payments to farmers, and the premium for potato starch, in other words, the payments to companies and factories. Following this change in EU law, both premiums will be decoupled from production and included under the rules governing the single payment scheme. This will happen by 2012 at the latest. The production aid for growers could be decoupled from 2010 onwards, depending on the decisions made by the Member States. This means that the potato starch sector is currently supported by a production-related, comprehensive EU market organisation system, but that, as a result of the resolutions on the health check, the use of these market management instruments will be stopped by 2012 at the latest. The steps that have been decided on will represent a major setback for this sector. Only the future will tell whether cultivating starch potatoes can remain competitive under the new rules. Even if there is no alternative to a greater market focus and less state intervention, we need to consider appropriate transitional periods in order to allow for an organised changeover. In addition, we should help farmers who want to continue growing starch potatoes to increase their competitiveness and to find new markets and sales opportunities. However, we should also provide support for farmers who decide to stop growing this crop in identifying alternatives. The most important thing is for the Commission to make a rapid decision and to issue a clear statement on the problem. In the world of business, a good decision is always good and a bad decision is a challenge, but the worst thing is for no decision to be taken at all. A failure to take a decision means a standstill and for a business, standing still can be fatal. Therefore, I would like to ask the Commission once again to consider the situation and to find suitable means and opportunities which are in the interest of our farmers."@en1
