"Mr President, I did not support setting up the crisis reserve as part of the common agricultural policy reform. I see it as more of the same old approach to agriculture policy. There are many other measures available to the Commission before it needs to top-slice money from certain farmers in certain Member States. More money is not always the answer. A better, more flexible and more liberal CAP, which allows farmers to be globally competitive, is the answer to crises and will stop them having an effect in the future.
However, my real problem with this is the unfairness of the funding measures. A threshold of EUR 2 000 means that Member States with the largest farms will contribute the most. Three Member States will not contribute at all. I do not see that as solidarity. If we are going to have a crisis reserve – and, as I say, I do not think we should – all farmers should contribute. Otherwise, this looks like a money grab from some Member States to others. This is certainly how UK farmers will see it, as they are being asked to fund disproportionately a crisis reserve that they are unlikely ever to benefit from."@en1
