"Mr President, frankly the President-in-Office leaves me speechless. First he assures us that no part of the CAP budget will be used for Kosovo or for exercising the European Union’s foreign policy and then he says that, in any case, the Commission has said – and rightly so – that any sums not taken up will be shared out. In other words, part of the CAP budget will be redistributed. We insist on knowing if the Council really believes that part of the agricultural budget, which has undergone swathing cutbacks for 2000, can be used for purposes which have absolutely nothing to do with the purposes for which the budget was approved.
Apart from our opposition to the entire policy being exercised by the European Union in Kosovo, the issue at stake is this: we want a commitment from the Council that not one single euro from the agricultural budget will be channelled elsewhere. Our farmers are already being squeezed dry, their needs are tremendous, as we see on a daily basis, and it would be unacceptable to take money away from their already reduced budget."@en1
