February 25, 2011
In this situation, of the field - who spoke today in Zaragoza in the Conference "Water and Agriculture" organized by the University of Zaragoza and the Confederation River basin of the Ebro, warned that the new agricultural common policy (Cap) will enter into force in 2014 should undertake the reforms necessary to ensure the stabilisation of the income of Spanish farmers, possibility that protects the World Trade Organization (WTO) and has a history in countries such as Canada and United States.
In this way, insisted that the new CAP should strengthen aid to the Agriculture of sustainable irrigated (or modernized irrigation), which has borrowed long-term to transform their infrastructure "for the benefit of society" to produce more and better food with less water. In this regard, the President of Fenacore suggested to allocate part of the Community funds aimed at the so-called "second pillar of rural development policies", that usually these resources do not reach the farmers, but they stay in projects that councils or local action groups decided many times by criteria solely political and not to the irrigation of agricultural interest.
On the other hand, stated that the new CAP should defend the competitiveness of the sector to ensure the supply of agricultural products of quality at reasonable prices for consumers, correcting the unfair competition involving entry into Europe for products that do not meet the same criteria that are required for our own productions to Spanish farmers.
