"Mr President, my warm thanks to Mr Costa Neves, Mr Wynn and all the members of Parliament's team in the conciliation negotiations. There was nothing else to be done. The Commission's amending letter being as modest as it was, one could hardly build up anything great on it. As we know how little room there is for change when it comes to compulsory expenditure in the agricultural sector, I think we have to give you credit for having fought and won a few points.
I would like to single out one point, one, which makes very clear the dilemma as regards the agricultural budget. We all know that our hands are more or less tied when it comes to compulsory expenditure, that they are tied, too, when it comes to outlining compulsory expenditure and thus outlining the common agricultural policy. Where we could make headway – the second pillar, which is a no more substantial beanstalk than it was before, where we have more obligations than we can meet – we are unable to transfer funds from the compulsory expenditure. Our self-imposed captivity must at some point come to an end. Not for the first time, I claim for Parliament not only the unhindered right to set a Budget, but also I claim for it the full right of co-decision in the area of the common agricultural policy. If these rights are not granted to us, then this dilemma will remain unresolved."@en1
