Another important aspect of the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy is that it will stand us in good stead in the rejuvenated World Trade Organisation talks referred to earlier. Unfortunately, as Members will be aware, those talks broke down at the Cancun conference, but in the fullness of time they will be put back on the rails. The fact that we have decoupled means that payments to farmers are no longer coupled production. They are no longer regarded as aids to production. They will go from the blue box into the green box and they will be free from challenge in the WTO talks. That is important for the future and it will be a source of consideration for farmers because they will know where they will stand for the next ten years or so.
