Agriculture and Food: Statements.
As I stated, the European Council decisions on the EU budget were taken without prejudice to the outcome of the mid-term review of Agenda 2000, which is under way. Commissioner Fischler will be presenting detailed proposals in the coming months, as a follow-on to the outline proposals published last July, and seeking decisions on them in the Council in the new year. However, there is now little likelihood that a qualified majority can be obtained for the implementation of any significant change in the CAP before 2007.
