lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I was extremely interested and curious to hear what Commissioner Schreyer has just said. I must say that we would have preferred to be presented with a written text, but it appears that these ideas have been the subject of internal debates within the Commission and that we will therefore be given a more specific text to study at our leisure. Having said that, I fail to see your grounds for considering that agricultural expenditure is not going to be used in its entirety, as it should, nor how you could release sums, that you describe as minimal, for the heading covering international actions and foreign policy. During the last financial year, we instead felt palpable tension regarding market expenditure and I do not understand what intellectual grounds you have for considering that too much money is being allocated to agriculture, apart from the fact that you need money for the foreign policy heading. Secondly, the same applies to the cuts under heading 4. You tell us that there is such a thing as interregional solidarity. Fine, I can accept that, but what gives you the right – you spoke of very specific criteria, so tell us what they are – what gives you the right to think that too much money has been earmarked for other parts of the world, apart from the fact that you need that money for Kosovo. I think that this is a genuine problem. I will conclude with my third question. I should like to know whether, in the undertakings concerning aid that we gave at the donor conference, we made commitments in US dollars or in euros? Given the state of the euro, I should like to know, if it was in US dollars, how you are dealing with the resulting situation and how you plan to guarantee that there will be strict parallelism between the donations made by the European Union and those made by other donors within the international community?"@en1
