lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I should like also to be able to say Minister, President-in-Office of the Council, but, unfortunately, he is absent. I wish to start by congratulating all the rapporteurs who have worked on the very important matter we are debating today, but mainly I wish to congratulate Mr Cunha on his which I do not envy him at all. I would not want to be in his shoes, but I congratulate him on what he has managed to produce. Allow me to convey to you the anxiety and uncertainty of Greek farmers, because Mediterranean products are not included in the reform of the CAP, and their anxiety as to what will emerge from part two, from the second round of negotiations, when we discuss Mediterranean products after the Cancun round of the World Trade Organisation. We are worried. We are very worried and I hope that it will turn out that we have no reason to worry but, until it does, we shall worry. We consider that the EUR 5 000 limit is very low. It needs to be increased drastically if we really want improvements to production and monitoring of all the preconditions needed for us to have improved prospects in the agricultural sector. I also wish to express the conviction that disadvantaged island areas, which in my country especially are particularly exposed, and mountain areas throughout the European Union should receive special treatment. We must take care to keep these people in their villages, in their agricultural areas, instead of making them unemployed town dwellers. I welcome the prospect of making agricultural production a business. However, I want to see how farmers are to become businessmen. Finally, we obviously all welcome the enlargement of the European Union with the 10 new Member States, but what I should like is for not only the farmers of the European Union to be called upon to pay the bill for enlargement."@en1
