negotiation and agreement, and not confrontation.

There couldn't be any less negotiation.

Simply demanding more in agriculture...does not add up to a serious negotiation,

I am very glad that we have been able to reach agreement on this important question. The EU has worked hard for this outcome and welcomes that others have moved to make this possible.

I hope we will get an agreement, if we are going to get an agreement at all, before the summit.

The agreement will give players on both sides clarity, certainty and predictability.
