"Unfortunately the bold and innovative aims initially proposed by the rapporteur have not survived our discussions. In some cases they have been forced to give way to wishy-washy, colourless and insipid compromises. I can live with that, particularly when it comes to a fairer distribution of direct payments in Europe to guarantee the smooth operation of the internal market. However, I do regret our lack of courage on across-the-board greening of the common agricultural policy. Our farmers want to produce healthy food efficiently in order to provide food security for Europe’s 500 million citizens. Eleven Member States, including Luxembourg, have signed a joint letter to Commissioner Cioloş expressing their opposition to the end of the system of planting rights for vineyards in 2015. I am glad that the European Parliament has endorsed that proposal in Mr Dess’s report. We do need to be careful however: our farmers must not end up working as underpaid landscape gardeners, leaving us dependent on imports of food and agricultural commodities from third countries, products subject to far less stringent requirements than those imposed on our farmers. I fully support this position. We expect to see it included in the Commissioner’s legislative proposals."@en1
