"Madam President, biodiversity or biological variety forms the foundation of our lives. This is something that we have inherited and we have the major responsibility of ensuring that this inheritance remains intact and of passing it on to subsequent generations. This is not just about preserving biodiversity, but also about the sustainable use of resources. Nature conservation policies can only be successful in cooperation with agriculture. Some animals and plants can only live in areas managed by man. One example of this is the Apollo butterfly, which lives only on well-managed vineyards on steep hillsides. In wild habitats, it cannot survive.
Our objective is to ensure that we have a secure supply of high-quality, varied foodstuffs and that we protect biodiversity. The current common agricultural policy (CAP) imposes stringent requirements for healthy, varied and sustainable production, based on the precautionary principle. We are currently in the midst of the discussions and I believe that the committee chair, Mr Groote, is right. We need to hold talks about the CAP and we should not anticipate them today."@en1
