With regard to biofuel, we take the following position. It would be very good to have a policy in this regard, but it must not replace agricultural policy. This distinction must be drawn. If biofuel production is aimed at decreasing greenhouse gas emissions in order to reach the Kyoto objectives, we agree that this sector should be developed. Nonetheless, this must not replace an agricultural policy.
If this results in less intervention from agricultural policy, so much the better. As Mr. Van Tassel mentioned, the increase might not materialize in the grain sector, or there could be an impact on the livestock sector. We need an agricultural policy to support the agricultural sector. Agriculture policy cannot be transformed into energy policy. We need a real and viable agricultural policy. This is our position.
