lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Prime Minister, Mr President of the Commission, I have listened very carefully to the priorities you set out. I wish there were six instead of five, but I think that the sixth will be added in due course. I refer to the mid-term review of the common agricultural policy. The final proposals are due before the end of January. The European Union is already taking on ten new members. The rural population of the European Union will rise by 165% and rural land by 43%. Cultivable land will increase by 55%. And yet the budget up to 2013, in the best case scenario – with minimum inflation – will remain the same. I should like to ask you what your presidency’s objectives are, Mr Prime Minister, and what you intend to do for the millions of European farmers, in both the current European Union and the enlarged European Union. As far as Lisbon is concerned, two of the ten years have passed and little has been achieved, far less than the 20% which should have been achieved by now. What is certain is that, instead of closing, the competitiveness differential between our economy and the American economy, which is our main competitor, is now even wider. I was both interested and delighted to see that entrepreneurship and small enterprises are one of your priorities. An excellent move. Today you announced this in an ambitious voice. We shall be here in about five months’ time, totting up the accounts to see what has been done. I should like to know, Mr Prime Minister and President-in-Office, what you intend to do to achieve these ambitious objectives, which you have failed to achieve at home."@en1
