lpv:translated text	". This budget is simultaneously delightful, detrimental and disastrous. Delightful because of the amount: EUR 100 billion. This is the highest budget we have seen since 1958. Detrimental with regard to agriculture. The percentage of agricultural appropriations in spending as a whole is being relentlessly eroded and, in particular, the appropriations authorised in financial forecasts are never used to the full. Over ten years, if we add up the annual differences between the agricultural budgets implemented, on the one hand, and the agricultural budgets voted for and the estimated agricultural financial forecasts, on the other, the equivalent of an annual agricultural budget has been spirited away. The EUR 40 or so billion that have been stolen from European farmers could have been used to save our apiarists, promote our wines and create a European fund against natural disasters. In the Languedoc area, for example, where flooding in September destroyed 4000 hectares of vineyards. Disastrous, because 2003 will be the last year before we jump into the bottomless pit of globalisation without a safety net. It is the year of Cancun and the WTO Ministerial Conference that will seal the world agreement on agricultural free trade. It is also the year in which there will be real conflict over the CAP review, with a powerful ally for Mr Fischler in Renate Kunas. It is also the beginning of our descent down the slippery slope of enlargement, with the accession of the Eastern European agricultural countries bringing unknown costs in real terms."@en1
