"Mr President, agriculture is unlike any other industry because of the inelasticity of its demand and supply. That makes public-sector support absolutely indispensable. But that support ought to be Member State support and not EU support. The UK receives the smallest share of common agricultural policy funding of any Member State. The EU’s embrace of neo-liberalism opens the door to trade agreements that force Europe’s farmers to face dangerous competition. That same philosophy allows supermarkets to treat farmers as though they were their own outworkers. The multitude of farmers face the tyranny of few buyers, which is a classic example of what an economist would call an oligopsony. We have been warned about a re-nationalisation of agricultural policy. If only that were the case! What we need is abolition of the CAP, not its reform."@en1
