What Jérémy spoke about.

Mr President, Commissioner, at a time when the availability of mineral fertilisers is a cause for concern, how can we underestimate the importance of livestock farming in Europe? European agriculture needs to evolve, but looking at the facts, it remains the most productive, diverse and sustainable in the world. So why is it the subject of so much criticism? Part of the answer lies in the particula

Mr Bellamy, I take responsibility for the votes I took part in and the way I voted in this European Parliament. I know which paths we should not have chosen. What I am saying today is that farmers are not looking for culprits, they are looking for answers. If you want us to keep fighting, we can say: You voted that. You voted that, you shouldn't have. This is because of the Green Deal. This is bec

Madam President, Commissioner, European agriculture is already the most virtuous. Our farmers follow the most demanding rules in the world. I'm sorry to call him back. Many here spend their time polarizing the debate, looking for culprits wrongly and through. I think we should focus more on finding answers. This is what women and men in agriculture expect. Let us stop deciding without them, let us

Mr President, Commissioner, the fact that we are preparing to adopt without amendments a report on generational renewal in agriculture can be seen as a good sign. Our Europe expects a lot from its agriculture, especially from an environmental point of view. But one thing is certain, to meet our challenges, our many challenges, and to succeed in transitions, there is a condition: Let's stop losing

Ms Aubry, one thing is certain: I do not defend the same interests as you and I do not defend them in the same way. I am sensitive to the peasants, to the peasant world, to all those who get up in the morning to try to feed the Europeans. So I have no lesson to learn from you about what I was, what I am and what I stand for. I will always stand up for farmers and what I am asking for today is some

Mr President, Commissioner, let us not allow simplistic speeches to trap us. The path we are taking is that of a glyphosate renewal. Everyone knows that and that is, I think, reasonable. The real question that everyone should face is the conditions of this renewal. The Commission's proposal is not serious, because it does not incorporate any of these conditions of use by continuing to leave respon

Madam President, Commissioner, contrary to what some people think, for victims, the problem of predation is not anecdotal. 11,000 animals killed, shredded, in France, 4,000 in Germany, 700 in the Czech Republic. Faced with these figures, the benefit for biodiversity is largely questionable. You can admire the wolf, the bear and other carnivores, but you cannot turn a blind eye to the damage they c

Madam President, Commissioner, the subject of polluting emissions is certainly important, but I did not imagine that the European Commission would not see the gross error of forceps agriculture into an inadequate framework. It is dangerous and ineffective to treat European livestock farming so lightly as industrialists. This ignores the progress already made in this area, thanks in particular to t

Mr President, Commissioner, we would indeed have preferred to have the Commissioner for Agriculture by your side to listen to us, but that is not the case. I am hardly surprised by many of the interventions heard this morning. A certain conservative right, which had partly voted for the Green Deal three years ago, is now making us believe that change can be refused. And then a certain left, the Gr

Mr President, Commissioner, animal welfare, especially animal welfare, is a public expectation that must be taken seriously. It is also, no matter how unpleasant to some, a major concern of breeders. We do not talk much about it, but above all, breeders love and cherish their animals and all actors in the sector have no interest in working with abused animals. So taking a subject seriously may mea

Madam President, Commissioner, far from the issues that are shaking our Parliament, rural areas represent more than 80% of Europe's territories. Territories that often feel, rightly or wrongly, a little forgotten. With this report, I am proud that Parliament is sending them a serious, comprehensive, well-informed and well-worked message. Above all, I hope that the Commission will listen to us and

Mr President, while we weigh our words very carefully to try to reconcile the irreconcilable, more and more breeders across Europe feel cornered, ignored, misunderstood. I want to pay tribute to them for all the work they do and the courage they have. Their deep distress should alert us. Can we protect both the wolf and the farm? Maybe, but certainly not everywhere. Whatever the means, whatever th

Madam President, Commissioner, Minister, Ukraine is suffering in a war that continues to be devastating. In the face of this, the Ukrainian people are giving us all a lesson in courage: He fights tirelessly for his country, his children, but also his agriculture. An agriculture different from ours, but solid and productive. Agriculture that deserves urgent support from Europe to get its production

Madam President, Commissioner, Minister, the war in Ukraine is a disaster. Ukrainian women and men are bombed, killed, neglected and sacrificed because of a mad and dangerous man. Ukrainian women and men are soon at risk of starvation because their fields have become theatres of military operations. So, Europeans, decision-makers, companies, everyone at their own level, our responsibility today is

Madam President, Commissioner, today's report to our House on animal welfare on the farm is an evaluation report. It aims to help our institution to make proposals for the evolution of existing EU rules. He wants nothing more and nothing less. Animal welfare is a sensitive issue. Some would rather turn a blind eye to this growing societal concern and avoid talking about it. They would like us to d

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we are about to approve a trilogue agreement on the new CAP. Many of us in this room are measuring the work that has been necessary to achieve this result and preparing to approve it responsibly, despite the limitations that each of us necessarily finds in the final compromise – but to approve it anyway. Some prefer to get out of the game and po

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, perhaps this afternoon's concert seems to you to be at odds, between those who think that the Farm to Fork strategy is inapplicable and that we are being concealed from all its dangers, and those who believe on the contrary that it is perfect and easy to implement. Reality is different to me. The strategy without an action plan is not a strategy
