We do not believe that the end justifies the means but that the means prefigure the end.

No democracy means no stability, and no stability means no economic recovery.

There are ways and means of objecting, there are ways and means of expressing your objection.

Next, democracy means transparency.

It is a means of occupation.

I hope that custom will also be emulated.

That is a radical change in established custom and practice.

24931 We think it is a good custom for the presidency to alternate.

That is the best form of prevention and the best form of protection.

That is a form of conflict prevention.

Terrorism, whatever form it takes, is unacceptable.

This issue, however, should form an exception.

Hydro - electricity is a form of renewable energy.

This cannot, however, be just a formality.

I am not offering my congratulations as a mere formality.

This direct contract procedure must not catch on and become the predominant procedure.

Specifically, we must simplify the procedure in order to prevent the blocking of the budgetary procedure.

And if the reason for this is the complexity of the procedure, perhaps we ought to review that procedure.

But we say   'no'   to replacing the cooperation procedure with the consultation procedure.

The testing procedure is inefficient.

This ritual invocation of the coming millennium makes my head spin.

A ritual restating of elite viewpoints and obscure acronyms will not win that support from our citizens.

13604 And it is precisely these merits that make the continuation of this barbaric ritual so very shocking.

Reports abound on violence in the home, rapes, ritual violence and maltreatment in prisons.

Since then, things have largely returned to the normal routine.

Only in this way can routine long - term measures also be maintained.

The tests offer new opportunities to test a large number of animals on a routine basis.

I want to emphasise that this handling of phthalates does not deviate from toxicological routine.

Public discussion is still not a routine matter there and we would do well to bear that in mind.

Her remarks fit this depressing tradition perfectly.

On the other hand, there is a corporate and protectionist continental tradition.

I understand that it has been the normal tradition to obediently produce these lists.

Our country does not have a long tradition of small enterprise and private service provision.

In the tradition of our continent, this realisation is an important one which merits recognition.

We must use the existing facilities and use them efficiently.

Farmers' wives know how to use computers and could use them on the farm.

We know that our use of fossil fuels is not a sustainable use of energy.

We must therefore also aim for optimum use of government investment in the use of technology.

We cannot use one word for something and then use a different one elsewhere in the same text.

It has a habit of reappearing, often in a more harmful form.

He is obviously making a habit of putting his foot in it.

We are also in favour of the ban on habit - forming additives.

These days, we know that waste has a habit of reappearing, often in a more harmful form.

Parliament has a habit of talking tough at the beginning and then softening up as things go on.

No government should be forgiven bad manners and inappropriate behaviour.

Often, couples go their separate ways in a civilised manner.

We must deal with it in an exceptional manner.

And it does so in a manner which can work.

Parliament employed its powers in a sound manner under special circumstances.

It was offered on a voluntary basis in an exemplary manner.

This modus operandi is unacceptable.

You feel that we need a new modus operandi here.

That would, of course, enable us to change the whole modus operandi between us in the future.

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.

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.

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.

It has a bearing on employment.

This has a particular bearing on economics and trade.

Bearing responsibility will mean ending the advance monitoring of financing.

Let us examine a number of aspects, such as scaffold bearing surfaces.

There are various different causes which have a bearing on the matter.

While you fashion compliments, something useful may happen.

It is obviously a question of using them in a coherent and coordinated fashion.

I look forward to sharing that news with them in liberal and liquid fashion.

These initiatives, therefore, lump all categories together in an inadmissible and dangerous fashion.

But we do not feel that social exclusion can be eradicated in a piecemeal fashion.

Air traffic covers greater distances than any other mode of transport.

This practice has been appalling.

This is perfectly standard practice.

This is a completely unacceptable practice.

This has proved ineffective in practice.

This practice has systematically penalised women.

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.

Should there be a convention ?

They reject the convention itself.

Yes, but a convention is not enough.

Perhaps it will be a convention after all.

My second marginal comment concerns the convention.

No administration or institution is infallible.

Every institution has its own president.

It has a functioning civic institution and culture.

Yesterday we honoured our institution with a political debate.

In seven cases the institution concerned has accepted a draft recommendation.

It is the spirit of intergovernmentalism.

European backing for such entrepreneurial spirit is always welcome.

In the spirit of compromise, a way forward was found.

It is not about spirit or other higher values.

The procedure began this year in a spirit of cooperation.

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.

But he made a mistake, as we are wont to do when we read our speeches quickly in politics.
