lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I have reached the fourth part of my explanation of vote. The Kok report outlines two approaches to reducing the cost of enlargement. The first of these involves strict application of the rules concerning structural support. This would bring down the cost of enlargement to 0.11% of the Union’s GDP. It is likely that Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Greece would oppose such a course of action. The second approach involves reducing direct aid to agricultural income to 85% of its current level. The cost of enlargement would then be 0.10% of the Community’s budget. It would require sacrificing the common agricultural policy, however. There is certainly scope for reform of the latter, but it would be unfortunate if it were practically written out of existence. In principle, the cost of enlargement has only been set up to 2006. Subsequent years may therefore become a free-for-all as far as the budget is concerned. The Union’s decision-making process will not have been significantly improved, so blocking is only to be expected."@en1
