lpv:translated text	"Do not lose heart, Prime Minister, I am the last, though I hope I will not be the least. Following a Luxembourg Presidency led with honour by Mr Juncker, you are taking on the Presidency at a very delicate moment for Europe. At a time when the draft European Constitution, based on a careful rebalancing between politics and economics, appears to be stillborn, I hope, despite everything, that we will not bury its content too hastily. The financing of the EU cannot be decided by a confrontation. Enlargement must be financed fairly and reasonably. Is it fair for the United Kingdom to be the only one of the 15 to have reduced its net financial contribution following enlargement, thus excusing itself from all efforts to reunify Europe? You have declared that the British rebate is not non-negotiable, and we take note of that. Do not forget, though, that the CAP has already been reformed three times. You will allow me to express my surprise at the UK’s reaction with regard to European farmers. The United Kingdom is well placed to know the extent to which European solidarity expressed itself during the two major health crises that we underwent with BSE and foot-and-mouth disease, and to evaluate the costs borne by the European Union to deal with those two disasters. The future of Europe depends on our ability to guarantee to 450 million Europeans that they will all be able to feed themselves at a reasonable price and completely safely. We will not forget that you have declared that you do not want to reduce the EU to a huge, dehumanised market. Your predecessor stated that he wanted an integrated, political Europe of solidarity. May the UK Presidency share the same vision of our common future."@en1
