Desværre var det endnu en gang landbruget, der forsinkede os, og mens det lykkedes EU at undgå at få skylden, mener jeg, vi er nødt til at erkende, at vi havde vores egne interne politikker, og at kommissær Mandelson, da han ønskede at gå videre på landbrugsområdet, blev holdt tilbage af nogle af de mest protektionistiske stater i EU.
Unfortunately, once again, it was agriculture that held us up, and, while the EU managed to avoid the blame, I think we have to recognise that we had our own internal politics and that, when Commissioner Mandelson wanted to go further on agriculture, he was held back by some of the most protectionist states in the European Union.
