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 should like to pick up on four points.

I should like to pick up on this point.

I should like to pick up straight away on your closing words.

I must, however, just pick up on two points that were inaccurate.

I want to briefly pick up on some of the crucial points that he made.

Women are raped and no one can attain justice.

It should merely be given a chance to attain this status through regular monitoring.

Rapid approval of this directive is vital in order to attain this goal.

We accept them as being those which the industry can attain and can afford.

If we do not do this, we cannot attain them: it is as simple as that.

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.

Yet we have a real chance to catch up.

Yet it seems they cannot catch anybody responsible for these acts.

Giving industry some space to catch up seems justified in my opinion.

Tobacco farming was started immediately but it took several centuries for the potato to catch on.

In fisheries, the policy always seems to be about reducing the catch.

Firms must be a point of encounter and agreement.

Because of these new activities, they very often encounter and cross swords with industrial fleets.

They are also in a better position to resist these evils if they do encounter them.

I find that disappointing.

I find this a dangerous game.

We must find alternatives.

I find that approach interesting.

I find that quite natural.

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.

We would like to focus the twice - yearly summits on strategic themes that may run across several summits.

This is where we run up against contradictions, however.

On this score, only the future will tell.

We have now said enough on that score.

There is more to be said on that score.

Unfortunately, we are up against it on virtually every score.

Once again, we have been left in no doubt on that score.

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.

We have tried to drive this proposal through.

That is a structural reform we must drive through.

I want my fellowmen to drive on safe tyres, above all.

Technology and changing markets will drive change, in any event.

Commissioner, you have us as your partners to drive that forward.

We are not going to pull our punches here.

24993 For the euro is a bold historic project that can only succeed if we all pull together.

We therefore need to pull out all the stops to turn this new phase into a success.

The business is rich and powerful enough to pull a lot of strings and assassinate a lot of people.

This is the thrust of our amendment.

This was the thrust of my question.

We support the main thrust of this report.

Firstly, there has been no decisive political thrust when we really needed it.

This is the thrust of the joint resolution.
