These steps, ladies and gentlemen, were more than mere fine tuning; they marked a turning point, the emergence of a new philosophy and a new set of concepts as regards the Common Agricultural Policy, and in my view this new approach seems in every way to point the path towards the future.
Ces mesures, Mesdames et Messieurs, étaient plus que de simples correctifs. Elles ont marqué un tournant, l'adoption d'une nouvelle philosophie, une nouvelle conception de la politique agricole commune, conception qui me semble porteuse d'avenir.
