"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the importance of cultivating trees for the landscape and the environment is already well known and acknowledged. Different scientific studies demonstrate that trees are more capable of reducing CO levels than meadows and pastures. Considering the dispositions of direct payments, which anticipate that 7% of farmed land should be set aside for ecological purposes, what, Commissioner, will happen in the case of an olive farm that already comprises within it dry-stone walls and rows of trees, and that includes centuries-old trees of important value to both the landscape and the economy? Do you not think that such farms are already sufficiently sustainable from an environmental point of view, and that the application of the required 7% indicated above would instead risk causing harm to economic sustainability and the environment, with farmers forced to cut down part of their olive grove?"@en1
