lpv:translated text	"Thank you, Mr President. I, too, should like to congratulate all those involved in this budgetary procedure, which, as far as I can see, was an excellent procedure. We greatly appreciate the fact that amendments tabled by Parliament to compulsory agricultural expenditure have been adopted under the Belgian Presidency for the first time. It is somewhat regrettable that the Commission has failed to seize the opportunity to include Parliament’s proposal in the letter of amendment at this stage. In the light of the foot and mouth crisis, it is crucial for the European Union to do something about the development of marker vaccines and of insurance systems against animal diseases. I only hope now that the Commission will implement the amendments to this budget, for in the past I have had certain doubts in this respect. Other amendments which have not been included unfortunately, but which are of major importance, in my view, are the amendments which relate to the quality policy for agricultural products. This then refers to a quality heading other than the purely organic production. I hope that the amendment will be adopted and that the Commission will implement it accordingly this time. Of great concern is still the fact that a large number of amendments are left over, of which the Commission had said before that it was unable or not prepared to implement them. There is every chance that these amendments will be adopted on Thursday nevertheless. What will the Commission do in that case? Will it persist in its attitude or will it bow to the wishes of the budgetary authority?"@en1
