keep

I agree with Mr Mayer who says that we must keep it reasonably tight here. Je suis d'accord avec M. Mayer lorsqu'il affirme que nous devrions serrer un peu la vis. In order to be effective on this score, the Member States must manage to keep their ranks closed in the direction of Moscow. Pour être efficaces à cet égard, les États membres doivent parvenir à serrer les rangs vis-à-vis de Moscou.

Chávez, qui transforme le Venezuela en paradis pour terroristes.

shake handsIt says that when you join a club the least you can do is to shake hands with all the members and not to behave in a warlike manner towards any of them. On y dit que, quand on rentre dans un club, la moindre des choses, c’est de serrer la main de tous les membres et de ne pas engager des mesures guerrières contre l’un de ces membres. I hope that, at the beginning of 2012, when I take my seat in the European Parliament, I will be able to shake hands with fellow Members from Croatia. J'espère que début 2012, en arrivant au Parlement européen, je pourrai serrer la main à mes collègues députés croates. It is absolutely pointless for us to shake hands here and agree on doing something or other, and then for it not to be implemented at the end of the day. Il est tout à fait inutile de se serrer la main ici et de convenir de faire ceci ou cela si, au final, les mesures convenues ne sont pas mises en œuvre.
