Hvad konkret angår Portugal, må en sådan debat givetvis tage højde for det portugisiske landbrugs særlige situation og de portugisiske landmænds unormalt lave indkomst som følge af, at vi først kom med i Fællesskabet i 1986, når andre lande har kunnet drage fordel heraf siden 1962.
With regard to Portugal in particular, this debate will certainly take account of the specific characteristics of Portuguese farming and the abnormally low income of Portuguese farmers as a consequence of our only joining the European Community in 1986, when the other Member States had been benefiting from it since 1962.
