"Mr President, this morning the President of the Commission, Mr Barroso, brought this subject up in the debate on the state of the Union. That gives us an idea of the importance the Commission affords this issue. He spoke about hope, inclusion and solidarity.
At a time of economic crisis such as this, when there are ever more unemployed people, and ever more people living close to the poverty line, this deadlock shown by some Member States is the most absolute example of a lack of solidarity.
Those countries that are opposed, the richest of the European Union, may endanger the continuation of a programme that, with 1% of the common agricultural policy budget, helps 18 million people.
The Commissioner is right to shame those Council members who are incapable of showing solidarity at this time.
I urge the Polish Presidency, between now and the end of its term, to continue with its support in order to move forward with this programme. It deserves that. So do all the people who need it, and the EU also deserves that vote of confidence and, above all, that response to its citizens.
The EU Council of Ministers should take into account Parliament’s view that the programme should not only be maintained but also improved, as this House called for yesterday.
I would also like to remind the Heads of State or Government that we hope and trust that at the next summit they will take these matters seriously and find a political way out of this deadlock."@en1
