 ( 1 ) The actual expenditure tends to be well below the notional estimate in the easel
of the Netherlands , since many farmers there are not prepared to meet the additional :
 requirements laid down by the Dutch authorities .                       If that holds true for the
newly-included areas the actual expenditure would be about 60 000 ECU per year only
 Extending the less-favoured farming areas will reduce EAGGF ( Guarantee ) revenue
 from the co-responsibility levy on milk by an estimated 0.2 million ECU annually .
