I simply want to refute that our sole aim would be to disturb proceedings.

You do so as if you were taking care not to disturb anyone.

It is not our wish to disturb what has been achieved in the integration process in past decades.

Consider educational disadvantage, for example.

46659 This puts more environmentally - friendly products at a disadvantage.

This amounts to a distortion of competition which puts public risk capital at a disadvantage.

Only at a local level can the negative cycle of disadvantage and discrimination be broken.

13754 This puts short sea shipping at a disadvantage compared to other modes of transport.

Anything lower would seriously hamper budding artists.

Several bottlenecks hamper the development of short sea shipping.

More regulation in the employment field will hinder job creation.

And false demagoguery will only hinder the resolution of such a serious problem.

Discussion of this subject now can only hinder the process of convergence.

Above all we can hinder that process by a failure of imagination and by self - absorption.

Instead of helping artists, this will hinder them, and there will be fewer small firms left in business.

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.

The need for haste, however, must not impair the quality of the legislative groundwork.

I would like to make this extreme inconvenience known.

Transparency ought not to be perceived as an inconvenience for the administration.

I regret the attempt to cling on to quotas and to interfere with trade in that way.

That much we are all agreed upon, and we should not interfere with that base.

So this is not a matter of principle but a matter of the formal place for this specific proposal.

Everybody supports this matter.

Borders are a sensitive matter.

This is an important matter.

Road safety is a serious matter.
