lpv:translated text	"Mr President, first of all I would like to thank our colleague, Rainer Böge, for the work that he has done on this report. I greatly appreciate it and I do not believe that anyone else would have done a better job and produced such an excellent and impartial report. Tomorrow Parliament must send a strong and positive message to the citizens of Europe. We need to have as large a majority as possible back this report. If Parliament stands united on this issue, we will also be sending a strong message to the Council. Unity in the matter of financial frameworks is still achievable during Luxembourg’s presidential term, if there is the political will and leadership. I would like to raise two matters which I think are important: the future of agriculture, and the Baltic Sea. Agricultural policy has inevitably got to the stage where agricultural subsidies to the old 15 Member States will be reduced with future enlargements. We have to prepare ourselves properly for this. I support the amendment tabled by my group which proposes that, if the Council decides to reduce overall funding of compulsory expenditure, the 2002 Brussels agreement notwithstanding, the Member States will have to compensate for this reduction financially. In this connection it nevertheless needs to be said that switching to joint financing of agriculture will be a realistic move, if not for this financial perspective, then at least for those to follow. I also wish to turn your attention to the amendment that concerns the Baltic Sea strategy. At present, the Union has a Mediterranean Sea strategy, and in parallel with that we want now to establish a Baltic Sea strategy. This strategy will be especially important for nature conservation. Today the Baltic Sea has immense problems. When conditions are at their worst you cannot bathe or fish in the sea, and we need effective measures to restore the Baltic to its natural state."@en1
