The main proposal in the current reforms is decoupling or breaking the link between premium headage and getting payment. Whether they liked it, people had to keep cattle and sheep in order to collect payments because a headage payment was made. The more headage people had, the more payment they got. That resulted in a surplus and overgrazing. Then we had to introduce destocking in order to prevent overgrazing. We were promoting production on the one hand by premia and headage and promoting destocking on the other hand. When this livestock was converted into meat, I was invariably called on to visit Mr. Fischler to know if we could get increased export refunds to get rid of the surplus product. Having promoted production we were then looking for additional EU taxpayers funds to get rid of it. The unfortunate aspect of this was that we found ourselves in some of the least developed third countries and invariably ended up dumping our surplus product on these unfortunate people and their fledgling economies which wrecked and caused mayhem in them. It had to stop.
