We have asked direct questions and we should have direct answers before we go to vote.

37133 4 % of total direct aid.

So there is no direct link.

Please allow me to make a direct reference.

Direct dialogue between the parties is essential.

Because we have known for a very long time that the market does n't fix it.

What it does fix, left to itself, is a great many things that can never be put right again.

We fix the guide price and then base compensation on the average market price.

There would seem to be scope for the admirable dictum: " if it ai n't broke, do n't fix it ".

I cannot accept that focus.

I want to focus on the regulations.

I want to focus on two matters.

It brings cultural diversity into focus.

The main focus is on prevention.

I believe we must have a level playing field but we must harmonise at a realistic level.

Caution and level - headedness are needed.

Because they have a different level of education.

At national level, situations are extremely disparate.

Sometimes there is confusion at national level.

Most housewives do not know the difference between a heifer and a steer.

I have been well aware that you had to steer a course between the two extremes.

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.

Both reports address these directly.

I want to address a second point.

They want to address this problem.

We must address this issue now.

We must address this problem urgently.

But we now have a wider remit to discuss this subject.

I will answer them, because this matter is within my direct remit.

In this regard, it must be remembered that energy policy remains within the national remit.

We should not do this as this is outside our remit.

It is, after all, they who have most knowledge about the regions which fall under their remit.

Whether a rule is a purely professional rule must be determined from one case to the next.

That is the rule everywhere, and it must be the rule here too.

Luckily, there is a shining exception to this rule, and it really is a rule.

Such a rule is only normal.

The precautionary principle should rule.

Today we can send a signal.

That will send out a clear signal.

We must send the right signal.

We must send an equally powerful message.

I believe it could send out the wrong signals.

I will probably submit a text on this matter myself.

We can submit motions for this together with you.

I will not submit any further proposals on this matter.

Please submit to us a specific plan of action and a schedule.

Few citizens, however, are aware that they may submit a petition.

The need now is to ensure that it can transmit twenty - four hours a day.

In line with this principle we can preserve, develop and transmit our heritage, culture and traditions.

I suggest that you should try -- or get your staff to try -- to sell the idea to television companies.

I shall try to clarify the position.

I will try to do so nevertheless.

I shall try to make a few comments.

I want to try and avoid that.

I cannot decide alone to withdraw this request.

Other regions must decide on their own regulations.

It is rightly a matter for ministers to decide.

You can so decide under your authority as President.

Industry will then have to decide the ones it wants.

Politicians need not judge these benefits.

I will therefore judge you on your deeds.

37005 I think others are far better placed to judge.

Only nations have the right to judge their leaders, no one else.

We often judge matters on the basis of our own home areas.

We will try to answer it point by point.

I raise this point because it is an extremely interesting point.

I do not want to go through the details already mentioned again point by point.

There is no point in making a point of order: you will be able to speak on the subject tomorrow.

Well, if we do not agree on the starting point, namely this point, we will never get a result.

We must prepare for enlargement.

We also need to prepare for the euro psychologically.

I received no notice in order to prepare my defence.

Now, however, we must also prepare the way carefully.

Nevertheless, we must also prepare for its many consequences.

However, that is something people have to sort out for themselves.

It is important to sort out the structural problems in our economies but this will take time.

I promise you that this is something that we shall certainly sort out.

The problems will remain until we sort out what we are going to do about external expenditure.

Your work is crucial to our job because you are the experts and we then sort out the political problems.
