"chequeo médico" in English

Undoubtedly a key theme for 2008 is the Health Check for the common agricultural policy.

As the Minister said, we will look again at this issue in the health check.

We know that agricultural policy is to be the subject of a health check, but not a general review.

Therefore, we will be prepared to look, during the health check, at solutions to help those regions.

you must have a checkup before you travel

you must have a medical before you travel

In this context, I also think it a shame that the Health Check is evidently now looking at four 1% increases.

Without doubt, it will continue in great depth within the framework of the so-called common agricultural policy health check.

(ES) Mr President, Commissioner, we agree with the aims of this 'health check', but not all the proposed measures.

This Health Check must help us find the right path towards a common agricultural policy for the post-2013 period.

(DE) Mr President, the Commission is planning the successful introduction of the health check in the agricultural sector for 2009.

The health check is an important process for reforming agricultural policy, particularly agricultural policy in mountainous regions.

As we await the so-called 'health check' on the CAP, it is important that we deal with this issue now, to get it out of the way, as it were.

After all, only when it is time for the health check is it time to discuss a potential change to the existing regulations and structures.

(NL) With this Health Check, the Commission has taken a good - if very modest - step towards a slightly less unfair agricultural policy.

Next week we, the ministers, will attempt to reach some conclusions regarding the report on the common agricultural policy health check.

The Commission are doing it already in the health check, where they have talked about how, now that publication will be made, we could look at cutting back on payments.

As the Commissioner responsible for Agriculture, Mrs Fischer Boel, said yesterday, we are genuinely going to subject the Union's finances to a proper health check.

I would therefore ask you, Commissioner, to include this request by the European Parliament in tangible terms in your legislative health check proposal.

Also, the recent communication of the European Commission regarding the "Health Check" of the Common Agricultural Policy is a good basis for interinstitutional negotiation.
