Translation of "Faute au filet " (French → English) :

We moved many decades ago from caveat emptor to recognizing that we must have some network to protect those less able to protect themselves.

33. Calls on the Commission to recognise the fundamental role of women, as smallholder farmers, in food and nutrition security, and to invest in programmes which specifically support them; recalls that women's importance in achieving nutrition security for themselves and their children has still to be properly acknowledged and, therefore, that women's livelihoods have to be secured and knowledge about adequate nutrition increased; insists that the EU strategy should also focus on the implementation of actions to ensure that the most vulnerable, especially in rural areas, can benefit from agriculture training opportunities, education on ...[+++] nutrition, good health and work conditions and a safety net if it is needed ;

However, safety nets are necessary, in the case of vulnerable consumers for example, or at the time of a supply crisis which market mechanisms cannot sufficiently address.

Without this underpinning safety net, businesses will face an increasingly unfair struggle against new producing regions manufacturing fakes on an unprecedented scale.

Certain instruments for regulating the market in emergency crisis situations must be introduced to act as a safety net, for example, by exceeding the withdrawal ceiling by about 10% in the event of serious crises.

For the farming industry in the long term, we need adequate tools, better tools for our farmers to perform better and we need a safety net beneath that to ensure that farmers will be caught when the tools are not provided for them or when the tools breakdown and they cannot achieve their goals and objectives.
