(DA)
Although we are still fighting to abolish the EU’s agricultural aid, we voted in favour of the report on direct payments to farmers in respect of the year 2013, as the reform of the EU’s agricultural policy by 2020 will necessitate transitional arrangements. This must not be seen as a general expression of support for the common agricultural policy’s goals and means, however.
