Traduction de «Aménagement des stabilisateurs de la production » (Français → Anglais) :

An ecologically rational extension of the cultivation of fodder plants for fodder production and as a catch crop to maintain well-conditioned soil and healthy crop rotation will entail further demand for seed, a process which the introduction of a stabiliser must not inhibit.

Its main function is to once again affirm the neo-liberal dogma codified in the “Stability Pact” signed in Amsterdam in 1997, and to condemn the adjustments suggested at the Gothenburg summit on automatic stabilisers.

(19) Milk production and cattle farming are the mainstay of the agricultural economy of the Azores, and support for the sector should take account of the crucial importance of these activities in both social and economic terms, especially for small farmers. To ensure the survival of traditional activity in this sector, the suckler cow premium and the aid for dairy cows should continue to be supplemented, within the limit of the available local quota. A supplement to the slaughter premium should be introduced and aid granted for the disposal of surplus male bovines for which no normal outlets can be found in the islands and which must be shipp ...[+++]ed to the rest of the Community at considerable additional cost, given the particular geographical situation of the region. To ensure that Community support can be mobilised effectively, a comprehensive programme to support local activities in the livestock and milk products sectors should enable the sectors concerned to define and implement strategies tailored to the local context for economic development, spatial organisation of production and increasing the professionalism of producers.

However, that system has been adjusted to take account of recent developments in production, to provide the Community with the instruments necessary to ensure, in a fair yet efficient way, that the producers themselves meet in full the cost of disposing of the surpluses of Community production over consumption and to comply with the Community's obligations under the Agreements resulting from the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, hereinafter referred to as "GATT", approved by Decision 94/800/EC(4).

(4a) The guaranteed national quantities of unginned cotton should be adjusted as closely as possible to actual production in each Member State with a view to obviating distortions in the operation of the budgetary stabiliser, together with pressure on holdings whose activities are unprofitable, as is often the case in structurally disadvantaged areas.

The percentage reduction in the guide price which now applies, equal to half the overrun in the national guaranteed quantity, has proved an effective budgetary stabiliser and has enabled Community cotton production to be maintained despite major fluctuations in the world market for cotton fibre .
