".
The Moderate delegation has today abstained from voting in the final vote on the resolution.
The resolution contains much that is laudable in our view but, because we voted against quite a few of the proposed expenditure increases in the vote on the figures for the budget, it was impossible for us fully to support the resolution’s conclusions.
We do not agree with the general criticism made of the Council for having reduced the size of the budget. That is particularly the case regarding agricultural aid. We are pleased that the Council is taking a step in the right direction by reducing this. We believe, however, that agricultural policy is in need of radical reform and we should therefore have preferred there to have been further reductions."@en1
