slide

Esimerkkilauseet

We must not slide down the slippery slope from open coordination to closed planning.

19741 The alternative is the risk of seeing an inevitable slide towards a total balkanisation of the region.

calculate

Esimerkkilauseet

Secondly, we must differentiate when we calculate these external costs.

The effect upon the brand image of seafood products is hard to calculate today.

In all events, we need to start by deciding on the measures and then calculate how much money is needed.

Of course we also need principles on how to achieve this transparency and how to calculate the costs.

count

Esimerkkilauseet

It is actions which count.

I am not happy on every count.

I think that should count for a great deal.

I hope that we can count on your support.

You can count on me to do that.

decrease

Esimerkkilauseet

Reducing consumption will cause a decrease in production.

Decrease in exposure however also decreases the risks.

49480 That will decrease the chance of damaging and unnecessary conflicts.

Those districts which have not suffered losses will therefore see their incomes decrease in any case.

Fortunately, there is a steady decrease in discrimination in a large number of countries.

lay

Esimerkkilauseet

This prevented several thousand lay - offs.

It must lay the ground for enlargement.

However this is only possible within a lay context.

We must lay down equitable points of departure.

Our duty as politicians is to lay down the framework for this.

lower

Esimerkkilauseet

Competition also leads to lower costs.

Let us lower and enforce speed limits.

Other observers expect even lower growth rates.

Anything lower would seriously hamper budding artists.

But we see no reason to lower our guard.

reduce

Esimerkkilauseet

49341 , so as to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and thereby reduce the emission of carbon dioxide.

Its aim is to reduce expenditure.

This will reduce the political diversity of debate.

In order to reduce disparities between regions, of course.

I also back the other proposals to reduce noise pollution.

set

Esimerkkilauseet

That should set us thinking.

We must clearly set firm objectives.

We must firstly set ambitious objectives.

It cannot be set high enough.

We set fires for ecological reasons.

strike

Esimerkkilauseet

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.

To calculate, figure.

To count (the number of sth).

To fall, drop.

To lay (e.g. the foundation of sth).

To lower (e.g. of prices), decrease (e.g. of the amount of sth).

To lower (e.g. prices), to decrease (the amount of sth).

To lower, drop.

To put down, set down, lay down.

To slide (down; by using some vehicle or instrument).

account

Esimerkkilauseet

Please take this into account.

That should be taken into account.

We must take that into account.

We will take account of it.

We have to take it into account.

add up

Esimerkkilauseet

Nevertheless, these amounts add up to millions of course.

Just add up all the costs of these crises combined.

figure

Esimerkkilauseet

This percentage is a familiar figure.

It is also a misleading figure.

A zero rate is a specific figure.

That is an embarrassingly large figure.

I think it is a fairly typical figure.

number

Esimerkkilauseet

Secondly, a great number of small companies are established, but a fair number also go under.

The number of passengers and, alongside this, the number of flights, is growing at an alarming rate.

But more important than the number of chapters completed is probably the number of chapters opened.

It is not a question of the ratio between the number of refugees and the number of existing citizens.

I have a number of concerns.

reckon

Esimerkkilauseet

We reckon we have more scientific evidence than your guess at a figure.

tally

Esimerkkilauseet

27393 When we look at your proposals, we find they do not tally with what you have said.

work out

Esimerkkilauseet

At this time, we can and must work together to work out the best way of dealing with this.

It is not that they are out to cheat; they simply cannot work out how to administer the scheme.

41896 That should have allowed sufficient time to work out the implementing provisions.

I had to work out for myself what the cost per pound or kilo was.

I have received many complaints from schools which cannot work out how to administer the scheme.

anticipate

Esimerkkilauseet

They anticipate technical development.

I believe that a politician is someone who needs to anticipate problems.

In both of these cases, the flexibility instrument has enabled us to anticipate needs.

I hope that we do not anticipate the same delay in relation to this very vital service.

We must inform, warn, monitor, anticipate and prevent a human and social disaster.

estimate

Esimerkkilauseet

I cannot under - estimate the importance of customising our content.

This most probable estimate is based on statistical extrapolation.

You may say that it is not possible, but I think you could at least give a rough estimate.

How much of this schizoid quality reflects the positions of the two rapporteurs is hard to estimate.

r. mit: expect

admit

Esimerkkilauseet

You have to admit: this is a joke.

You must admit that it is surprising.

Any scientist will admit that this is true.

You must admit that this is going too far.

We must admit that this is a very delicate subject.

ascribe

attribute

Esimerkkilauseet

We, for our part, attribute the shortage of jobs primarily to immigration.

compute

crunch

Esimerkkilauseet

So we have a crunch here about setting firm targets.

I hope this obligation will actually be applied if it comes to the crunch.

dampen

decline

Esimerkkilauseet

30873 Hence the worrying decline in meat consumption.

This is why people decline the office of mayor.

Such strategies would lead in the medium term to stagnation and decline.

The truth is, indeed, that we find ourselves in a time of democratic decline.

There are many reasons for the decline in the railways.

decrease .

Esimerkkilauseet

Reducing consumption will cause a decrease in production.

Decrease in exposure however also decreases the risks.

49480 That will decrease the chance of damaging and unnecessary conflicts.

Those districts which have not suffered losses will therefore see their incomes decrease in any case.

Fortunately, there is a steady decrease in discrimination in a large number of countries.

depreciate

depress

discharge

Esimerkkilauseet

I support his refusal of discharge.

We shall therefore grant the discharge.

Closure is a condition for such a discharge.

Yet we are obliged to give discharge.

In that year, we voted against granting discharge.

disembogue

drop.

Esimerkkilauseet

A drop in standards should not be allowed.

Despite satisfactory economic growth, the drop in unemployment is stagnating.

Any violations should be penalised by a drop in financial support.

I saw the value of my cattle drop to virtually nothing.

Conjuring tricks are performed: money appears and disappears at the drop of a hat.

dwindle

ebb

fall

Esimerkkilauseet

Unemployment continues to fall.

Nevertheless, we do have a fall in incomes.

When prices fall, production must be curtailed.

We must not fall into past mistakes.

We must not fall for this ploy.

figure.

Esimerkkilauseet

This percentage is a familiar figure.

It is also a misleading figure.

A zero rate is a specific figure.

That is an embarrassingly large figure.

I think it is a fairly typical figure.

lay down.

Esimerkkilauseet

We must lay down equitable points of departure.

Our duty as politicians is to lay down the framework for this.

In the final reckoning, we will have no choice but to lay down boundaries.

We must therefore lay down rules which can thrive in the different national cultures.

We have to lay down the rules of play today, before we all lose.

let

Esimerkkilauseet

So, let us give it some time and let the projects develop.

Let us put an end to hypocrisy, and let us give up on solutions that do not work.

But let us not go too far along these lines; let us organize the competition on a transparent basis.

Please let this be the last disaster of its type and let us learn all possible lessons from this.

Let us remember those things and let us now pass the agreement, but remembering those points.
