We must sort this sort of thing out much more quickly in future.

I cannot support this sort of trend.

I really expected nothing of the sort.

It makes no sort of sense whatsoever.

This sort of news is commonplace now.

This is a blow that they just cannot cope with.

One bad news story may blow confidence in e - trade for years.

This new authority will not strike a blow for freedom in terms of consumer policy.

People 's faith in the rule of law and political power has been dealt a sharp blow.

The environmental organisations may be regarded as acting as blow lamps on us politicians.

It is not in fact a selection board.

We want parliamentary involvement in the management board.

The heads of national agencies should constitute its board.

Highly technical, across - the - board measures might not succeed.

I am glad that the report takes these questions on board.

This is where we hit a major problem.

17636 It is therefore women who have been hardest hit.

This is the first time that floods have hit our département.

The beef and veal sector has been doubly hit by disaster.

It is true that pigfarmers have been hit by an historic slump in prices.

It has a knock - on effect.

We learn from our knock - backs, albeit with some delay.

It has a knock - on effect in other areas, especially where there are shared coastlines.

This has a knock - on effect on other companies as well.

These environmental problems have a knock - on effect beyond coastal regions to inland regions.

You can move a sack of potatoes around Europe more easily than a citizen can move.

Every time you try to move a country or move a continent, history grabs you by the ankles.

We must move in this direction.

I think that would be a good move.

We can only welcome such a move.

We must strike a balance between them.

No doubt they strike a happy medium.

I should like finally to strike a biblical note.

Twelve political prisoners dead from hunger strike.

We need always to strike the right balance.

I now turn to the content.

I turn now to the amendments.

I now turn to another subject.

I turn to the question at hand.

We should not turn things round.

Her remarks fit this depressing tradition perfectly.

Such facts do not fit in with liberalisation mania.

I cannot fit everybody in if we carry on taking extra time.

There are occasions when " a one size fits all " economic model does not fit.

This is why comments concerning personnel do not really seem to fit in here.

The gender dimension is missing.

Our health systems are usually gender - blind.

National reports rarely include a breakdown by gender.

In conclusion, discrimination is often connected with gender.

No preference on gender grounds was shown towards a man.

A clean, viable environment is fundamental to the future of mankind.

We are embarking on the greatest political adventure that mankind has ever witnessed.

We risk creating a   'monoculture of mankind'  .

The encyclopaedia came to the conclusion that mankind could never exterminate this species.

49454 These include the appreciation that the resources available to mankind are finite.

That seizure was an illegal act.

But major species have also been affected.

Certainly, there is overfishing of some species.

Each species will thus have a commercial value.

This will ensure that other species are protected.

It is therefore essential to plant a diverse range of species.

2834 It is not just a question of style.

What is more, it strives for a completely antiquated after - care style of environmental protection.

Its wordy and ambiguous style make it impenetrable as to its actual meaning.

It is precisely this type of act and this type of organisation that we resolutely wish to combat.

Studies of this type are planned.

Every system creates its own type of failures.

Something quite astonishing for this type of meeting occurred.

No type of administration should be outside this commitment.

In our opinion the right way forward is another way.

19397 I believe we can find a way through and a positive way forward, but only if everyone cooperates.

It is evolving not only in a positive way, but also in a negative way.

Exchanging lists in this way is not an ideal way to engage in dialogue.

In this way, the limited available resources could be used sensibly and in a targeted way.

We must no longer accept this as a stroke of fate but must do something about it.

Let us not beat about the bush.

We cannot continue to beat about the bush.

I will not beat about the bush: animals are animals and people are people.

Tasks of that kind do exist.

We repudiate that kind of intolerance.

Nothing of the kind has happened, however.

We will commission a study of this kind.

This kind of thing is always happening.

Independent workers are not another race.

This report would undermine rather than improve race relations.

I believe we are caught up in a race against the clock.

Sustainable peace cannot be created if half the human race is ignored.

It is of fundamental importance that we should oppose the arms race.

What followed was to shock the world.

What a psychological shock, what a cause for concern to the self - righteous.

These are figures that still shock us even though are they well known.

People who make use of the free movement of persons are brought down to earth with a shock.

It is perhaps difficult to know who is going to provide the salutary shock, and when.
