"Mr President, I, too, would like to say how pleased I am that we have managed to find a compromise, and I thank the rapporteur, Mr Capoulas Santos, for having formulated sound solutions. This means that we will be able to continue with modulation and also support farmers in the old Member States. This debate and our discussion show that we all consider direct payments to be a very important instrument for supporting farmers. Nowadays, however, maintaining direct payments at different levels seems unjustified when farmers are operating across the single market and selling their goods at similar prices throughout the entire EU, whilst also purchasing the means of production at equal prices. We have a situation where farmers in France pay exactly the same for tractors, agricultural machinery and fertilisers as farmers in Poland. This concerns not only the old Member States but also the new ones. Currently, differences are maintained across the old Member States. Farmers in France receive different direct payments from farmers in Germany, and different amounts again are received by farmers in Poland and Lithuania. These discrepancies should be eliminated in the new multiannual financial framework after 2014."@en1
