I am obliged to tell you, Commissioner, that the proposed financial provisions are only a small drop of water in an ocean of crisis and despair.
Firstly, why do you only announce €280 million in aid today, when there was some discussion about €600 million? You say that you are restricted by the budget, that you are held back by financial restraints. But how can you explain the fact that many billions were found when it was wanted, to rescue the banks which today abound in profit and that small and medium-sized farmers are left in bankruptcy and ruin.
