"I voted for this joint motion for a resolution, pursuant to Rule 115(5) of the Rules of Procedure, which replaces the motions by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament and the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left, for the following reasons:
Firstly, we all recognise that agriculture is a strategic sector of the EU economy and that, in order to respond to future challenges in terms of food, natural resources and the environment, a certain level of reform of the common agricultural policy is absolutely crucial.
Secondly, there are problems with the food supply chain, from producer to consumer, which need to be resolved, particularly improper trading practices intended only to take money from the producers. I therefore welcome the information from the Commission, under the Single Market Act, on the adoption of a communication on these trading practices and misleading advertising.
Thirdly, as agriculture is the subject of the first integrated European policy, it is essential that it be the focus for resolving the crisis, as the food supply of 500 million Europeans is at stake. There is an urgent need to acknowledge the role of farmers and free them from the stranglehold in which they find themselves, caught between input costs and exploitation by the chains bringing their products to market."@en1
