"Madam President, I would also like to thank the rapporteur for an excellent report, which I think was particularly well researched, particularly in the beginning. Times are tough for dairy farmers. They face extra costs, notably with regard to access to feed, and the decisions they make are often long term as it is not easy to turn on and off production. Many farmers in my region are struggling with TB as well. It is a tough industry to work in and they face volatile times.
But quotas and supply management are not the answer. We cannot hold back the whole of the EU just because of a few small farms in the mountains or in islands. However, we do need to make sure that farmers remain on the land in all parts of the EU. I think this is down to the Member States. They have the tools in the CAP. In Pillar 1 they have coupled payments, LFA payments and redistributive payments, and they also have rural development programmes. I think the key is rural development programmes for the future, and that the Commission should be more proactive in helping Member States design such schemes and, if necessary, change the rural development rules."@en1
