It is appropriate that we should hear the facts, so that we may have an opportunity of congratulating the Minister and his permanent representatives, who have done such an excellent job in ensuring that many of Mr. Fischler's proposals which sought to take the Agenda 2000 measures to the extreme have been counteracted and that we will have a future in family farms. Senator Burke should note that I am talking about small family farms, not the large ranches in Europe.
