"A sustainable, productive and competitive agricultural sector guarantees security, in terms of food and natural resources, as well as territorial balance. Given the fact that world populations are only set to increase, global agricultural production will also have to increase accordingly. We must therefore strive to ensure that we create a strong and sustainable CAP that matches the changing nature of the agricultural industry in all Member States. We must make the best decisions to help combat rural decline and counter the possible pressure on the agricultural economy from third countries. There should be a greater focus on SMEs. Disparities in the provision of aid and assistance for farmers must be eliminated. Direct payments are a legitimate source of income for Europe’s farmers. The general scheme must therefore ensure that direct payments are distributed correctly and a level playing field is created throughout the EU. Each Member State should receive a minimum percentage of the EU average direct payments. In order to achieve this a ceiling should be set. It is crucial for market regulation measures and intervention mechanisms to be implemented, in order to ensure that products are fairly priced and that farmers receive an adequate level of income that guarantees the continuation of production and a regular supply of food."@en1
