There has been a central conundrum confronting European agriculture since we joined the European Union. It has become more apparent as time has gone on. That conundrum is how we reconcile the need to have an industry that is competitive and responsive to the market and gives the consumer what they want, with protecting farm incomes and keeping the maximum number of people on the land. Attempting to resolve this conundrum has created round after round of talks. It is possible to square this circle, if I may use that expression. It has been done, or at least has begun. It is now possible to maintain farm income while bringing the industry close to the market.
