POLAND'S CHARTER 21

Early day motion 166, tabled 17 July 2001 by Alan Simpson (Labour). Signed by 26 members.

That this House congratulates Polish farmers and citizens in organising their Charter 21 manifesto for the countryside; welcomes the case they made in favour of their mosaic of family farms and strong regional markets, and the cautionary note they register about the downside of industrial food production; reinforces their call for a vision of agriculture that halts the accelerating collapse of global bio-diversity; and urges the EU to accept this position as a positive part of Poland's contribution to a wider European Community.

Signatures by party: Labour 19, Labour/Co-operative 3, Liberal Democrat 3, Plaid Cymru 1.
