"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, over the last decade, beekeeping has made great advances from a financial and entrepreneurial viewpoint. Operations have graduated from being mainly hobbies to genuine profitable businesses, in addition to being shining examples of eco-friendly production. This has been made possible by public, national and European aid.
Various factors have, unfortunately, led to a growing mortality rate among bees that causes risk not only to beekeepers in planning their activities but also to agriculture and the environment. Bees are responsible for the welfare of many plants important to agriculture and, more generally, the balance of the ecosystem and the maintenance of biodiversity.
I call on the Commission to draw up an action plan without delay to deal with the widespread bee mortality. Above all, though, with a view to the CAP after 2013, I would ask that the true role of beekeeping be acknowledged and that EU cofinance be increased from 50 to 75%."@en1
