"The debate at second reading on the 2001 budget gives rise to the same feelings we had last October and therefore leads us again to voting against the budget.
As we pointed out at first reading, aid to the Balkans by no means justifies a revision of the financial perspective, and nor does it mean, spuriously, that the fisheries agreements with Morocco should be challenged, by entering EUR 130 million into a reserve. We are delighted that this has now been acknowledged.
The most significant event to have occurred since our previous budgetary debates is, of course, the “mad cow” crisis. Whilst France must now take satisfaction in the fact that the European Union has finally adopted France’s position in the field of prevention, we remain concerned about the appropriations that these new political choices will require.
The gravity of the situation has led our group to table a number of amendments highlighting the importance of earmarking the necessary funds for standardising screening tests and for compensation for them, as well as for massive aid to the cattle industry, which has been severely affected.
The EUR 60 million for the former and the EUR 360 million earmarked for the latter will not be enough for 2001.
We are asking for a considerable supplementary and amending budget in January to demonstrate the interest that Parliament intends to give to this dossier."@en1
