"I supported the report by my fellow Member, Mr Dess, on the future of the common agricultural policy (CAP) after 2013. With this document, the European Parliament has once again demonstrated its determination to maintain a strong, ambitious CAP with a high level of funding. The aim of the CAP is to support our farmers and to respond to major challenges: to produce enough food to feed our 500 million fellow citizens and to contribute to feeding the rest of the world. Since the CAP was last reformed, the challenges have evolved: growing world demand for food, internationalisation of agricultural trade and price volatility, climate change, energy crisis, scarcity of available natural resources, and questioning of the role and purpose of the CAP by our citizens. All these issues should be included in the CAP after 2013 and should be taken into account when it is reformed. I also welcome the European Parliament’s desire to help small farmers as well as young farmers, especially when they are starting up. Finally, it is important that the CAP guarantee farmers better incomes, the latter having dwindled steadily in recent decades and standing now at half the incomes of urban households."@en1
