Brussels, 19/05/2003 (Agence Europe) - Coordinators of the political groups at the EP agricultural committee last week tried to define a compromise position to submit to the plenary at the beginning of June on the Common Agricultural Position reforms. The parliamentary committee is determined to submit a policy guideline hat has consensus and is relatively broad-based in an effort to avoid having to vote on over 1200 amendments. An initial compromise outline, still opposed by some MEPs, planned putting into place partial de-coupling, which would exclude from this mechanism aid in the stock rearing sector, with the exception of bonuses for cattle. The whole range of aid to arable farming (excluding durum wheat) will be decoupled. Commissioner Franz Fischler, who is calling for total decoupling, repeated to the coordinators of the political groups that he would not change his initial position. Chairman of the parliamentary committee, Joseph Daul (EPP-ED), indicated to Mr Fischler that he would do all he could to prevent a postponement of the adoption of the parliamentary resolutions on the case, even if this meant that a threat still existed. The agriculture committee will have to adopt the draft reports on CAP reform during the meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday.
