We do not have the intention of really starting those discussions; we have been waiting to receive from the Commission an element, a communication regarding the future budget; it was promised – as was agreed by the Council in 2004 already – that we would have a thorough revision of the income and the outcome of the expenditure of the budget including, of course, the CAP, which is such a big part of the budget. This communication has been delayed – there are now rumours that it will come by the end of the year.
Nous n’avons pas l’intention d’entamer véritablement ces débats. Nous attendons de recevoir de la Commission un élément, une communication concernant le futur budget. Il a été promis, comme en a convenu le Conseil dès 2004, que nous aurions une révision complète des entrées et des sorties des dépenses budgétaires, laquelle inclurait, bien évidemment, la PAC, qui constitue une part essentielle du budget. Cette communication a été reportée.
