lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the 2002 EU Budget, amounting to EUR 51 billion, appears at first sight to be balanced and straightforward. The increase of 5% over the outgoings of the Budget year 2001 corresponds to the Berlin agricultural guidelines. That is not only good but also inevitable, as no other policy is as thoroughly submitted to Community methods as agricultural policy. I note with particular concern, however, that this great chunk of agricultural expenditure is increasingly the object of covetous desires on the part of not a few politicians who see it as a sort of disposable object which can be moved around at will. If this intention is to be countered, the Financial Perspective will have to be qualified by the Commission, any kind of speculation eliminated and the across-the-board cuts that are always being sought in the agricultural budget not in fact implemented. The appearance of foot-and-mouth disease eleven months ago has meant a very unbalanced situation in animal husbandry, especially as regards food safety, animal protection and the internal market. Distorted competition in markets leads to the loss of jobs and income. Pricing is becoming chaotic and nobody can explain why. So I wish to advocate a temporary increase in the financial allocation to the market organisation for animal husbandry. I urge that the so-called interim balance sheet of Agenda 2000 should not be put off simply to do a favour for a particular country. I urge moreover that the reserve should be kept until an explanation is given of the contradiction by which we were talking about EUR 1 billion last year and only EUR 400 million now."@en1
