lpv:translated text	"In addition to the difficulties that farmers experience in bringing products onto the market, exacerbated by their weak bargaining position with distributors, they have seen a gradual rise in input prices. While farm gate prices have increased by around 25% over the last decade, energy costs have increased by about 60%, fertilisers and soil improvers by around 100%, seeds and animal feed by about 30%, costs for non-residential farm buildings by around 20%, and plant protection products and other pesticides by 13%. The increased cost of industrial machinery is also noteworthy. In overall terms, costs for European farmers increased by 40% over the same period. It will come as no surprise, then, that EU farm incomes have fallen by 11.6% since 2009, according to Eurostat data. The difficult obstacles that farmers face can only be overcome with a comprehensive response that helps to restructure agricultural production, reducing its dependence on the volatility of demand and the inputs market. I voted for this report and I agree with this approach, and I hope that the next common agricultural policy will provide a response to these problems."@en1
