"Madam President, I thank the rapporteur for his work on this.
There are two failures. You mentioned one of them, Mr Gerbrandy – the market failure – but there has also been a communications failure. Despite all the big words and heavy debates in this House, none of the citizenship in general hears or understands what we are talking about: so we have failed. I am glad the Commissioner is nodding in agreement.
On the failure of the markets, it is acknowledged in the debate about the common agriculture policy that there is no reward for public goods in terms of the price we pay for food, but we have not found the formula for correcting the market, and we need to do that. Commissioner, could I suggest that there may be a possibility – which has not been thought through in the proposals on greening the CAP – for us to develop a market in green entitlements, and that, for example in ecological focus areas, it may be possible to establish some sort of marketplace as a first step towards a price for public goods.
You are aware, however, in relation to the bogs in Ireland and that particular problem, how extremely difficult it is when citizens are asked to change their behaviour for the good of the environment. So we have a long way to go to implement all these recommendations."@en1
