Jeg skal endvidere bemærke, at nedgangen i 2001 hang tæt sammen med dollarens stigning, ligesom jeg også må konstatere, at støtten til alle de produkter, der ikke omfattes af Bilag I, er steget ganske betydeligt. Det finder jeg bekymrende, og jeg vil derfor gerne spørge kommissær Franz Fischler, om han mener, at de reformer af den fælles landbrugspolitik, som han har nævnt, gennemføres så betids, at disse eksportsubsidier efterhånden kan blive afskaffet.
I must also point out that in 2001 this reduction was closely connected to the rise in the value of the dollar and not to any reform of agricultural policy; and I must also say that there have been substantial increases in the amounts of subsidies for all products not included in Annex I. This is a situation that concerns me and I should like to ask Commissioner Fischler if he thinks it realistic that these reforms of the CAP that he has been talking about will be carried out in good enough time to be able to gradually eliminate these export subsidies?
