Mr President, we are able to support an extension to the proposal but, at the same time, I would draw attention to the fact that Agenda 2000, which was decided upon last year in Berlin, is based, of course, upon our looking towards free trade and endeavouring to reduce the present level of aid and to reach a number of agreements under the aegis of the WTO whereby, by virtue of market mechanisms, we can obtain greater access to the many markets out in the world.
Hr. formand, vi kan støtte en forlængelse af forslaget, men samtidig vil jeg minde om, at Agenda 2000, der blev besluttet sidste år i Berlin, jo bygger på, at vi skal søge i retning af frihandel, at vi skal bestræbe os på at få de nuværende støtteordninger reduceret og på at få truffet nogle aftaler i WTO-regi, som gør, at vi kraft af markedsmekanismer kan få større adgang til de mange markeder ude i verden.
