"Madam President, trimming back an overgrown and unnecessary bureaucracy is naturally in everyone’s interests, and particularly the entirely legitimate demand of farmers, who need as much time and energy as possible for their own work – crop production and rearing livestock – rather than for ploughing through red tape and filling in forms.
In 2005, the European Commission undertook to simplify the common agricultural policy. At the time, it set the ambitious target of a 25% reduction in the administrative burden by 2012. Although it cannot be denied that the Commission has made some effort, the actions to date have failed to bring either the expected simplification or an actual elimination of the inequalities between Member States. At the same time, it is absolutely essential to ensure a sufficiently flexible framework for the common agricultural policy, and especially for the system of direct payments. It is also necessary, within the framework of supporting diversity, to minimise the risk of providing support only to uncompetitive and inefficient production areas in the European Union. There is also a need to balance the aim of simplification with efforts to achieve maximum efficiency."@en1
