pleasure & delight in the "torture Chamber "
brings in regular intervals of Labour, the blood of farmers and their representatives to Wallen. Since the proposal calls for higher taxes paid by the farmers, you wage a discussion on the unit values, castigates to high food prices, always requires new controls and regulations, and tries with sentences like "No tax equity within the peasantry" wedges set.
It could still come thick for the farmers. The torture instruments for discussion with the farmers in any case has already prepared the Labour down.
In a position paper on the future EU financial and agricultural policy demands not only a "phasing out of all direct payments and market support measures", but takes in one go you right now the funds for rural development from which the ÖPUL and AZ will be paid to disadvantaged areas to target. At least 25 percent of these funds are, so one wishes to continue to be reserved for non-agricultural sector. "The agricultural sector is to receive the maximum percentage that corresponds to the 5-times its population share in the rural regions". At the EU level is according to the ideas of Labour future for the rural development programs no longer the agricultural department, but the regional department and be responsible - as a finishing touch - at the national level, the Federal Chancellery.
like compared to the farmers, the Labour in provocative positions such as "torture chamber". Good. Discussion and new proposals, especially given the entrenched ruts, in which agricultural policies are urgently needed. As an observer you can be sure, sometimes hardly avoid the impression that they are stewards of the working mostly with great joy and gladness, and a dash of wickedness can be devised - the main thing, the peasantry is disturbed.
Why unfold in the Labour this "culture" , and why farming works towards her so helpless at times, is indeed difficult to understand. Because after all, are roughly 100,000 farmers who manage their farms as a part-time farmers and go to work abroad, including members of Labour. You pay good one there, like all others, 0.5 percent of their monthly salary as a chamber levy. So that they, as it is, feed the most powerful lobby against their own profession, is - to put it politely - to name but a paradox.
It's not just about agricultural policy, but certainly also preserves, where it would line up of Labor to represent the interests of rural contributors better. Thus, in the premises of part-time farmers as workers are still social legislation in some areas (unemployment, pension) worse off than their colleagues.
The farmers and their representatives will gladly complained. On the second page, they should talk. The question is how much the Agriculture, respectively, the Chamber of Agriculture, is still in the social partnership as the relationship with the "partners"? The attribute "powerful" in any case are therefore only Commerce and Labor. "If to be strong, you're too weak," must, however, the farmers' representatives can hold up a teller from advertising.
You should not let the lying down - in light of the ideas being tossed.
