"Mr President, the challenge of enlargement is an inalienable political objective, and it is unacceptable that negotiation of the agricultural chapter should put the aim or the timetable of enlargement at risk. It is therefore absolutely essential that we should continue working to support the efforts that the candidate countries are making to restructure and modernise their agriculture, under the requirement that the candidate countries should comply with the Community acquis, but we must be quite clear that we too must comply with this Community acquis. Direct payments form part of this Community acquis and the Commission’s proposal that they be phased in, which we support, should ensure that there will soon be a single agricultural policy for the expanded European Union.
The rural development measures must ensure that there are active rural areas with diversified production in the candidate countries and especially that they guarantee employment.
Lastly, it must be remembered that enlargement cannot be associated with the reform of the agricultural policy. Reform of the CAP goes at its own speed and according to its own timetable, and to a great extent it depends on the results of our negotiations in the World Trade Organisation and their effects on world market trends."@en1
