This is not some abstract concept.

European citizenship is an abstract concept which lacks any legal form.

It is hard to make the citizens enthusiastic about abstract ideas and unspecific future possibilities.

Human rights do not exist in isolation, neither should they be considered in abstract.

We must ensure that the level of risk is assessed, and not just credit in the abstract, i.

Unanimity should, therefore, be restricted to the bare essentials.

Rather, it is the bare minimum in terms of future social policies.

We have ended up with just the bare minimum which can be accepted.

However, we must all work to ensure that air accidents are reduced to a bare minimum.

As a bare minimum, it is necessary that workers are consulted before decisions affecting them are taken.

The main thing is to make it clear and today we are not clear.

We need clear - cut criteria and clear - cut guidelines.

That is a clear timetable.

I shall be told that clients will very quickly discover this.

We must therefore try to discover the reasons for such a low participation rate.

We shall never discover more than we know now.

Believe me that we do not wish to discover that our trust in you has been misplaced.

They also expose babies to unnecessary risks.

In order to expose violations, it is important to quote chapter and verse.

  'Environment'  , it seems, is but a word, an empty shell.

It concerns equal treatment irrespective of the colour of people's skin or their ethnic origin.

It would be wrong to strip away the rules of the game which have brought us so much success to date.

The citizens not only expect us to uncover fraud and bring the guilty parties to court.

Do not lift economic sanctions while their fate remains uncertain.

We must lift the consensus rule, including in a future convention.

We should lift that blanket and let some light in.

I repeat my call on them to lift unnecessary and unjustified restrictions.

We are prepared to lift sanctions and provide emergency aid against the harsh winter conditions.

Through this vote the large parties have tried to snatch the contributors'   money to finance themselves.
