lpv:translated text	". This amending budget is inadequate and provides only temporary measures, although it does respond to the urgent need to finance the costs of the BSE crisis. I therefore voted in favour of it. It must be noted, however, that, in the words of Commissioner Fischler himself, ‘the crisis may run deeper than we think’, and that estimates presented by farmers’ organisations of total costs, which may reach EUR three thousand million, indicate that the consequences of the BSE crisis have been underestimated, at budgetary level too. Since the farmers should not be the ones to pay for a crisis for which they are not responsible – it is common agricultural policy which is responsible – budgetary constraints cannot be used as an excuse to prevent all the necessary decisions being adopted to contain the BSE crisis and to protect farmers’ interests. The Financial Perspective must be revised. The purpose of a reform of the CAP, which I have maintained has been greatly needed for some time, must not be to make savings in the budget. The purpose of such a reform must be to protect agricultural production, in full respect for food safety, to protect food quality, to promote the specific nature of the various regions and to promote economic and social cohesion. This will guarantee farmers’ incomes through fair prices for production and safe, high-quality produce for consumers. In any event, I voted against the amendment that sought to place the issue of cofinancing, in other words, the renationalisation of CAP costs, onto the agenda, because I disagree with the adoption of such a measure."@en1
