lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I should like to support Mrs Jeggle’s report and the statements she has made by asking a few very simple questions. Commissioner, I think it is in your interest to use the support offered by the Members of the European Parliament in order to attempt to safeguard your budget for agriculture. When we see the way in which money is being used and diverted to finance other measures, we have good cause to wonder if we shall still have the resources to implement a European agricultural policy after enlargement, and moreover to ensure rural development. When you achieve savings on cereals through moisture rates, how many millions does that amount to throughout Europe? And how are these millions going to be used? Do not forget that it is the intermediate regions that will be the first to suffer the effects, not the good cereal-growing areas, the main cereal-growing areas, but rather the regions where there are average production levels, where many farmers are currently experiencing problems. Looking across the board at agricultural regions, I am forced to note that it is these small- and medium-sized farms whose continuity is not assured, where the farmers’ children are looking for careers outside agriculture. I therefore think that this policy calls for caution, Commissioner. And you have our support. The agricultural budget must be used to promote rural development and to step up support to the family-type farms that exist at grass-roots level, rather than containing only budget measures whose sole purpose is to make savings. Commissioner, we are counting on you a great deal. We are speaking from the bottom of our hearts. Within Parliament we are aiming to defend the family farm."@en1
