The Commission might say that this does not tally with the system of proportionality and that the penalty is much too great. We are certainly not arguing for all payments of agricultural subsidies to a specific country to be suspended, however; what we are saying is that if things continuously go wrong in a certain sector, the Commission must be able to stop paying the money into the Member State’s account until the situation improves.
Nous ne plaidons cependant pas en faveur d'une suspension de tous les versements agricoles à un pays donné, nous disons simplement que, si les choses se passent constamment de travers dans un secteur, la Commission doit avoir la possibilité de ne pas verser l'argent sur le compte de l'État membre jusqu'à ce que la situation s'améliore.
