Denne udvidelse af ad hoc-proceduren var et krav fra Landbrugsudvalget, og jeg vil her understrege det nære og fremragende samarbejde, der her i år er blevet etableret mellem Budgetudvalget og Landbrugsudvalget i forbindelse med udarbejdelsen af budgettet for 1998.
Such an extension of the ad hoc procedure was a request of the Agriculture Committee, and I would like to emphasize here the close and excellent cooperation that has been established this year between the Committee on Budgets and the Agriculture Committee with respect to the preparation of the 1998 budget.
