Paragraph 11 – subparagraph 1 (new)
Stresses that the Neighbourhood Policy does not need to be a part of Agricultural Policy matters by offering favourable treatment to third-country agricultural and livestock products in an effort to avoid giving financial assistance to those countries; the above policy results in unfair competition and is economically damaging for Member State farmers; this is what happened with the approval to import 70 000 tonnes of olive oil from Tunisia, which affected the financial interests of farmers in the south of Europe, particularly in Greece;
