In October, the Commission will as usual be presenting the adjusted expenditure estimates for agriculture, which will of course take into account the outcome of the Luxembourg agricultural compromise, which contains higher expenditure for 2004 than that suggested by the Commission.

This new deterioration in the situation calls for an in-depth reform of the Common Agricultural Policy in order to tackle the ...[+++]problems at their roots. Taking into account that in-depth reform of a number of common market organisation is needed and that specific proposals to do so will be presented this year, the Commission would have preferred, at this stage, to propose a simple roll-over of present institutional prices for one year until the reform measures have been adopted and come into effect.
