On 12 March the Council adopted the guidelines for the 2002 budget. In the conclusions to these the Council confirms that it will apply the institutional agreement of 6 May 1999 in full. However, the Council emphasises that it is important to make a sufficiently large margin available under the various ceilings in the budget plan when the budget is adopted.
As regards financial repercussions of the BSE crisis, the Council would remind you that, in accordance with the conclusions of the European Council summit in Nice, both the budget plan and the Council Regulation on budgetary discipline must be observed even if new measures or supplementary measures are required.
The Council does not consider that the budget framework on which the European Council agreed in Berlin and which was confirmed in Nice is any obstacle to effective measures being taken to deal with the problems currently facing the beef market.
This framework has not prevented the Council from agreeing on important measures in respect of public health in order to restore consumer confidence. In particular, in February the Council adopted a common position on a Regulation establishing provisions for the prevention and control of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Once this has been approved by the Council and European Parliament it will provide a framework for sustainable production.
The Council is currently discussing the package of measures put forward by the Commission in February, the aim of which is to deal with the disequilibrium in the market for beef within the Union in both the short term and the long term and to raise the quality.
In the financing summary accompanying the proposal the Commission shows how the financial consequences of such measures can be met within the budget plan. At the meeting of the Ecofin Council on 12 February in conjunction with the Council’s adoption of the proposal for supplementary and amending budget 1/2001 in respect of BSE-related measures, Commissioner Schreyer said that depending on developments in the market, the Commission would consider legislative initiatives to cover the risk of further costs in the budget with a view to observing the financial frameworks of Agenda 2000. The Council therefore feels that the Commission should be able to implement the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy without this being affected by BSE."@en1
