European Parliament
Busk and Riis-Jørgensen (ELDR ),
in writing.
(DA)
The Danish Liberal Party’s Members of the European Parliament, Mr Busk and Mrs Riis-Jørgensen, voted against Amendment No 338 in the vote on the EU budget for 2004.
We think it is inappropriate to support tobacco production in Europe. Adoption of Amendment No 338 would, however, be nothing more than an empty gesture, since the EU would still be legally obliged to provide the aid. Instead, we believe it should be decided to remove the aid as part of an overall reform of the EU’s agricultural aid schemes.
