The second richest family of the world received 74 million euros of agriculture subsidy money. As an income support, this is a real scandal. I'm Thomas and I'm a member of the European Parliament. I'm an organic farmer and beekeeper. The royal family of the United Emirates bought up 65,000 hectares of land in Romania, Italy and Spain. And they're getting taxpayers' money as so-called income support. 99% of all farmers in the European Union are getting far less than 100,000 euros. And we need to secure that nobody gets more than 100,000. Because European taxpayers' money is not there to serve the royal family of the United Emirates. We need this money for real farmers on real land in real Europe.
