   Hinzugefügt: Ma. whereas Ukraine’s integration in the EU, could, under a constant budget, result in a 20 % reduction in the support available to farmers in the current Member States; notes that this risk would be further exacerbated by the envisaged reduction of at least 20 % in funds for the next common agricultural policy (CAP), excluding inflation, as well as by the budget’s integration into a single fund, which would deprive the CAP of its budgetary autonomy and effectively relegate it to the status of a secondary EU policy;
