"Mr President, I should like to say that Portugal is living through a period of terrible drought. Currently, 30% of Portuguese territory is suffering extreme drought and 70% is suffering severe drought. The consequences for my country’s farmers are enormous: shortage of animal feed, increased price of hay and straw, increased water and electricity costs, and declining production of cereals, vegetables and many other products.
Mr President, Europe is about cohesion and solidarity, and it would be hard to understand if, in the face of such a crisis, Europe did not help my country’s farmers. The appeal that I am making is for that to happen; for the European institutions to be aware of this inescapable consequence of the effects of global warming that affect the countries of southern Europe first and foremost, Portugal included; and for specific financial mechanisms to be set out within the framework of the common agricultural policy."@en1
