lpv:translated text	". I welcomed this document, because a sustainable, productive and competitive European agricultural sector can make a vital contribution to meeting the objectives set by the Treaties for the CAP and the objectives of the EU 2020 strategy, and it can also help to meet new political challenges such as security of supply of food, energy and industrial raw materials, climate change, the environment and biodiversity, health and demographic change in the EU. I very much welcome the Commission Communication ‘The CAP towards 2020: meeting the food, natural resources and territorial challenges of the future’. I believe there is a need for further reform of the CAP in line with the changing nature of the farming industry in the EU27 and the new international context of globalisation. In the future we must maintain a strong and sustainable CAP with a budget commensurate with the ambitious objectives to be pursued in an effort to meet the new challenges. I firmly believe that the most important objective is to distribute assistance fairly among the Member States and the different categories of farmers. At present, new Member States, like Lithuania, receive less financial assistance than the old Member States. I am convinced that harmonising direct payments is one of the preconditions for creating a single European agricultural market. Last spring, together with a group of fellow MEPs, I addressed a statement to the European Commission, the European Council and Parliament on the harmonisation of direct payments for the farmers of all Member States of the Community."@en1
