English Translation

13 - g - Ministry of Agriculture, which are passed on beyond the regional cultural councils or the market associations, by disparate or contrary instructions without difficulty sabotage, Very special during the war it seems absolutely necessary to control the whole food and agriculture from one place uniformly and purposefully. For this reason, the main departments II and III of the Reichsnährstand, which deal with the production and supply, have also been subordinated to the state authorities Pir the protectorate is likely to be all the more necessary for a tight structure of the agriculture and food industry responsible groups and organizations, since in this area voluntary participation of the population will continue to be expected in the future. Further concerns about the formation of a regional association arise from the fact that a large part of the tasks planned for it are already performed by the three regional councils, namely the Czech State Cultural Council in Prague, the Moravian State Cultural Board in Brno and the German State Cultural Committee in Brttnn. However, the regional cultural councils must remain as specialized bodies. I would like to point out to the Commission that, in the context of the reform of the common agricultural policy, it is not possible to take account of the fact that the Commission has not been able to take any action in this field.
