Under alle omstændigheder kan jeg i dag efter så lange og svære forhandlinger ikke andet end anbefale alle medlemmer at stemme for det resultat, vi har fået ud af forligsproceduren, da disse foranstaltninger er nødt til at gælde, indtil fristen udløber i 2006.
I have to say, both as a member of the conciliation committee and as representative of the Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, that the result was balanced, the agreement which we reached was ultimately a good agreement and this is, if you like, also proven by the fact that the various directly interested parties voted against it, some because they considered the measures lenient and others because they considered them strict.
