lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I am delighted to have supported my colleague, Mr Gebrandy’s report on an EU biodiversity strategy for 2020. It is a balanced report and recognises that farmers and land managers have a key role to play in halting biodiversity loss across the EU. I also welcome the call for agricultural payments to be targeted at rewarding farmers for delivering public goods. The report also backs the greening of direct payments by targeting 30% of the payments at developing more sustainable agriculture, which I think is vital for future food production. However, the Commission’s current greening measures need to be widened to better reflect the different circumstances in the Member States. One size does not fit all. Finally, I am pleased that Parliament voted to reject the call for a European soil directive. This to me is a matter best dealt with by Member States and not at European Union level."@en1
