".
I do not believe that large farms will be discriminated against by this measure because it applies to all large farms, be they in Eastern Europe or Western Europe. One cannot say that a large farm will be discriminated against in comparison to a small or medium-sized farm because the role of this direct aid is precisely to support farmers’ incomes.
For a large farm, over and above EUR 300 000, if it has jobs, then they will count. For instance, if a farm provides 20 jobs, the cost of maintaining those jobs will be added to the EUR 300 000. We are therefore supporting jobs in the countryside. If a farm is operating purely to obtain subsidies, and if it splits to obtain even more, then I think that there is an economic problem with that farm, which has goals other than economic success. If the goal is to seek subsidies, then there is a problem. However, if a farm wants to be economically successful under the common agricultural policy, it can be supported, as I said, through other types of measures aimed specifically at improving economic performance, reducing production costs, promoting products on the market, etc. The common agricultural policy is not just about subsidies; it also comprises other measures that will enable farms, including large farms, to adapt better to the current economic situation."@en1
