"I come from a region where agricultural holdings make up over 60% of the total area, and where, for many inhabitants, agricultural production is the basic and usually the only source of income. As a result, I feel obliged to appeal for fair treatment for farmers in all of the Member States. However, the upcoming reform of the common agricultural policy 2014–2020 is our greatest concern. In this reform, the European Commission proposed a gradual equalisation of direct payments. If, however, we recognise what I feel is an unduly slow pace of evening out existing imbalances in the level of subsidies between Member States, we can but anticipate that achieving full equalisation will take several decades. This will impact negatively on the competitiveness and profitability of farmers mainly from the new Member States, including Poland.
Today, we are debating the adjustment of legislative procedures to the provisions of the Treaty of Lisbon, but let us not forget that equal and just treatment of all citizens, regardless of nationality, is one of the fundamental provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union."@en1
