I voted against this measure.

This is certainly a positive measure.

I believe it is a proportionate measure.

The regulation is a confidence - building measure.

Please try to measure your words.

It does not necessarily improve the performance of all.

First: we must create an open, modern, high - performance multimedia infrastructure.

The communication was designed to boost our performance in this whole area.

Our top athletes'   eating habits have a great impact on health and performance.

The second part proposes a solid system for financial management based on performance and results.

The action plan being discussed is a major measure to strengthen external action.

Declarations of principles have been followed not by action but by delays in action.

4622 We have action plans and conventions but what we want is action, not good intentions.

In other words, action is only proposed if it offers added value in relation to national action.

That is social dialogue in action, and subsidiarity in action.

We are satisfied with this arrangement.

So here is the practical arrangement.

They want some new intergovernmental arrangement.

This arrangement was a problem from the start.

This arrangement works well and has caused few problems.

It is now high time that they proved to us -- in word and deed -- that they are worthy of this trust.

Safe operation of mining activities

This would clearly be a definitive operation.

We are proposing a tidying - up operation.

Despite this, co - operation is also required.

26168 This must be a radical, well - regulated operation.

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.

The alternative to this modest step is no step at all.

I strongly believe that this would be taking a step backwards rather than a step forwards.

A lot can be achieved but clearly it has to be done step by step.

The step which we are taking today is just one step on the long road ahead.

What is at issue is a step - by - step approach to the ultimate lifting of the embargo.
