 Fischler convinces ministers over CAP?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Fischler, European Commissioner for Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries, confirmed his belief that quality will play an even greater role in the future agricultural policy in Europe - to such an extent that it will have to be given its own instrument within future rural development policy.
For Fischler, an integral part of the word ‘quality' in the minds of the consumer is that they expect the food that they buy not just to taste good and look perfect, but also to possess other ‘special quality characteristics' such as specific geographical origins or particular production methods.
As quality stands at the prow of Fischler's CAP reform proposals, he remains certain that greater transparency in the production chain, better labelling and more information for consumers will enable them to buy the food that best matches their needs.

Fischler points to the complications that would inevitably follow once Iran, Iraq, and Syria were to acquire a common border with the EU.

Fischler drew emphasis to several points — that the EU is the largest aid donor in the world, that the EU is “one of the world’s most open markets to imports of farm products from developing countries”.
Fischler argued initiatives such as the EU’s Everything But Arms (which fully liberalises EU import tariffs for all but arms, rice, sugar and bananas to the 49 Least Developed Countries) were preferable to full liberalization with developing countries.
Fischler also highlighted that the recent combined US and EU common proposal for the Doha negotiations was a response to a call for leadership within the WTO, whilst recognizing the importance of the other 144 members.
