lpv:translated text	"To observe the financial ceilings for agricultural policy, stipulated in Agenda 2000, it is necessary that the regulations on budgetary discipline are tightened. The draft regulation contains proposals for instruments to intervene if agricultural expenditure threatens to exceed the ceilings. For example, in these proposals, the Commission is granted the authority to postpone payments to Member States at the end of the financial year. We largely agree with the proposed instruments. The rapporteur has drafted an excellent report on this matter. He endorses the necessity for more budgetary discipline. In addition, the report emphasises, rightly so, that any savings should not affect the principles of the CAP, as they have been approved in Agenda 2000. The EU has adopted a policy for the next 7 years which has also raised the necessary expectations within the sector. Departures therefrom may not occur without any valid reason. Within this framework, we are also in agreement with the amendment which advocates the possibility of transferring unused appropriations to the next financial year. This may provide the help we need to find the necessary appropriations within the Agenda 2000 ceiling. However, we did not back the amendment in which the agricultural expenditure for accession is kept outside the agricultural guideline for entry purposes. There is a wide margin between the agricultural guideline and the financial perspectives for the current Member States. This margin could be used for accession in due course."@en1
