Ikke i forhold til Kommissionens håndtering heraf og heller ikke det spanske formandskabs, men vi er i den barokke situation, at de 15 lande endnu ikke har kunnet blive enige om en fælles holdning til spørgsmålet om den direkte landbrugsstøtte - her skærer de interne modsætninger EU-landene imellem i øjnene.
I think this is cause for concern, not because of either the Commission's or the Spanish Presidency's handling of the matter but because we are in the grotesque situation in which the Fifteen have still not been able to reach agreement on a common position regarding the issue of direct aid to agriculture, and the divisions between the EU countries are particularly striking in this area.
