"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I congratulate the rapporteur for the excellent job he has done. This dossier is indicative of several things. Firstly, as far as the Commission is concerned, this is the institution which formulates the European Union’s policies. Its job is to draft the initial proposals, and we all know how important these are. It is also the body which distributes the payments. This is why I want to call on the Commission to take the new Member States into consideration. I want it to be more ambitious in its actions. We need to achieve a genuinely fair common agricultural policy. Secondly, I want to focus on the actual Member States of the Council. They are in the easiest position to be able to identify the needs of farmers in the individual countries. It is their job to draft their national position. This is why I want to call on even greater cooperation from them. They are a vitally important part of the decision-making process, regardless of the fact that they are not present during the plenary sitting. I want them to know that their position is important to us. Lastly, we MEPs are the ones who need to take into account everyone’s interests, horizontally and vertically: from those of the ordinary farmer to those of the whole European Union. I also wish that compromise, equality and fairness are the main features of the other reports on CAP reform, just as in this report. Congratulations once again."@en1
