Mr President, as has been stated by a number of colleagues during this debate, I regret that the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance is using this opportunity to table an amendment, which I recommend the other groups to reject.
Even though you may agree with its content, agreements should be respected. After all the work over recent months, I do not think anyone doubts my support and that of many members of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development (AGRI) for supply management by producer groups.
Despite the fact it is not represented here, the Council should not think that the aforementioned objective will be forgotten: it will be taken up again in the reform of the common agriculture policy, and more widely than just in relation to quality products.
I want to also make use of the opportunity to express my gratitude for the invaluable help given by my assistant, the technical cooperation of the committee secretariat, and the hard work, good rapport and willingness of all the group shadow rapporteurs we have worked with over this year.
I want to close by reiterating the uniqueness and importance of our geographical indications system. The total turnover of products with designation of origin and protected geographical indication is estimated at EUR 15 billion, around 2.5% of the spend on foodstuffs in the Union. It is a system that should continue to be protected by improving its exposure to the European consumer and its capacity to attract producers and operators so that the market can reward their efforts."@en1
