lpv:translated text	"Mr President, despite the significant efforts made by the services of the Commission and of the Member States to develop a method of delimiting areas with natural handicaps, the proposed biophysical criteria do not meet basic expectations, namely the objective delimitation of areas of factual natural handicaps across the entire Union. There is clearly insufficient justification for the adoption of LAU 2 as the administrative unit to be used as the basis for qualification, given that the size of this unit varies widely across the EU. For the Union as a whole, the average size of an LAU 2 unit amounts to 3 500 hectares. In Poland, however, the average size is 12 500 hectares. In the case of some Member States, there can even be a tenfold difference in the size of LAU 2 units. This situation does not allow comparability on a EU level. In my opinion, small administrative units such as cadastral units should be used. These are uniform in terms of soil conditions and consequently provide a better representation of natural impediments. Moreover, the application of the LAU 2 level in conjunction with the high qualification threshold, namely 66%, especially in countries with a variety of soil and climatic conditions such as Poland, will result in the exclusion of some areas with natural handicaps in situations where the required level in terms of qualifying criteria is not reached. In the case of Poland, areas with scientifically proven low productivity and the risk of set-aside would not fall within the category of areas with natural handicaps. This indeed is turning things upside down and, before it is too late, we should exclude this issue from the reform of EU agricultural policy currently under discussion. Thank you."@en1
