lpv:spoken text	". – The Fianna Fail delegation in the European Parliament voted in favour of the Supplementary Budget to finance the “mad cow” eradication programme, and the associated resolution – but not without serious reserves. We are delighted that the amendment to limit the European Union’s financial participation to 50% was rejected by a large majority. This would have been unacceptable to us, unacceptable to the Irish Government and unacceptable to our farming community. From the outset we have considered that “mad cow disease” is a Community problem and should therefore be fully financed by the Community. The initial figure of 70% Community participation and 30% national participation in the Haug report, was adopted by a very large majority. The Fianna Fail MEPs reluctantly voted in favour of this proposal. Community rules, at the present time, do not allow for a higher Community participation. Our choice was therefore limited, however regrettable. Fianna Fail’s Group requested a roll-call vote on the final paragraph of the resolution, which refers to codecision for the CAP. We voted against this paragraph. The European Parliament has no power or authority to vote itself codecision powers. This is a matter for the Heads of State and Government – only. It is not on their agenda. Furthermore, according to the Treaties, any revision of the CAP will not take place before 2003 – 2004. Finally this is a budgetary matter only. Any discussion on the reform of the CAP will take place at the right time. That time is not now. For all the above reasons the Fianna Fail MEPs approved the recommendations from the Budgets Committee (Haug report)."@en1
