We are in fact at the beginning of the beginning.

The beginning of this new millennium is very different from the beginning of the last.

It merely constitutes a beginning.

The debate is only just beginning.

It is a new, very ambitious beginning.

We have made a start, a good start and must progress hand in hand.

Now we have to start biting some bullets; we have to start focusing on the issues.

The committee work can start.

That, at least, is a start.

We ought to start with these.

You can move a sack of potatoes around Europe more easily than a citizen can move.

Every time you try to move a country or move a continent, history grabs you by the ankles.

We must move in this direction.

I think that would be a good move.

We can only welcome such a move.
