"The priority of the EU budget must be to help the Member States to respond to the difficult economic and financial environment. Concerted action is required to tackle the present challenges, such as loss of competitiveness and rising unemployment and poverty. Specifically, Italy’s role as one of the major contributors to the EU budget must be emphasised. Greater impact of spending on growth and employment must therefore be adopted as priorities. The Commission proposed a reduction of the common agricultural policy (CAP) budget, with a nominal freeze at 2007-2013 levels. The largest reduction is in direct payments (from EUR 322 billion to EUR 281 billion (-12 %). The Commission aims to introduce greater fairness in the distribution of payments (by bringing all countries closer to the EU average aid per hectare). I do not agree with the general outline of the CAP budget proposal for allocation of direct payments, which is based exclusively on the quantitative criterion of farmland and is contrary to the objective of growth and employment. I voted in favour, hoping that the reform of the CAP will not go ahead, as it would render it too burdensome."@en1
