D'abord, vous avez raison, me semble-t-il, de souligner que le problème majeur du budget 2000 est la sous-exécution massive d'un certain nombre de dépenses.
First of all, I believe that you are right to emphasise that the major problem with the 2000 budget is the massive under-implementation of a number of funds. Admittedly, Mrs Schreyer is right to say that there are sometimes good reasons for this under-implementation, but generally the budgetary authority feels a sense of frustration and is aware that there are problems related to this under-implementation.
