lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, there is no longer much point in discussing the package of agricultural prices since the 1992 CAP stipulated the gradual transition from a production price support system to a direct aid system, increasingly required to be dissociated from the production volumes. And as Agenda 2000 adopted and extended this approach, the establishment of agricultural prices is henceforth multiannual. While, however, it must still be possible to make annual adjustments, they must nonetheless comply, for the most part, with the commitments made in Berlin covering this period. This leads me, together with my colleagues on the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, to refuse to endorse the Commission’s proposal to reduce the monthly increments for cereals in two phases, by 7.5% each time. The same applies to moisture content in cereals. The Berlin agreement must continue to be our benchmark. This is the principled position that the European Union adopted in Seattle with regard to its trading partners and competitors within the World Trade Organisation. Logically, then, it should also set the standard in our debates on internal CAP matters. In particular, the European Union must fulfil its commitments in order to enable European farmers to have a clear idea of the policy as it affects them, in order to be able to manage their farms as wisely as possible. I therefore think it imperative to lift the veil from this notion of making the agricultural sector pay for Kosovo. In this connection, then, I would urge the Commission to provide us very quickly with its proposed reform of the COM in sugar."@en1
