I am tempted to tell him it is later than he thinks. We will not really defend the interests of agriculture by rejecting calm and balanced conciliation procedures between the two institutions, and by hanging onto an absurd system in which authorities at loggerheads try to establish compromises each to its own advantage, that is, make up two halfbudgets drafted along different lines.
In effetti non difenderemo gli interessi dell' agricoltura rifiutando una codecisione serena e equilibrata fra le due istituzioni e aggrappandoci a un sistema assurdo nel quale autorità divergenti fungerebbero da arbitri, ognuna per ciò che la riguarda, per due mezzi bilanci elaborati in modo diverso.
