lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I want to express my concerns at the consequences of some of the Commission’s proposals to reclassify less-favoured areas. In the United Kingdom these areas are some of the most beautiful and biodiversity-rich parts of the country. But they are also areas which are most vulnerable, and indeed these are the areas where common agricultural policy support is a vital lifeline for the livelihoods of the people living and working there. As ever, detail and implementation will be critical. I urge the Commission therefore to consider three points. The first is that they adopt a 50% UAA threshold as a standard qualification; secondly, that they use the smallest size of administrative unit in order to reflect more accurately the area’s agricultural potential; and, finally, that they show a degree of flexibility in the way that natural handicaps and biophysical criteria are measured in order to classify the area."@en1
