Translate the following English sentence to French:
"This is the essence of how I understand the situation: we are being told that it is essential for us to reach a conclusion quickly, that, basically, the Members of Parliament should drop their claims, particularly claims on the budget, for if we do not soon, in line with the codecision procedure, get around to establishing the framework of the regulations for LIFE, then its implementation for the year 2000 is going to suffer a delay, and in the meantime the NGOs and the operators at grass roots level are waiting for our appropriations."
En clair, vous, Parlement, baissez vos prétentions, notamment vos prétentions budgétaires ! Car, si nous n' arrivons pas rapidement, dans le cadre de la codécision, à fixer le cadre du règlement LIFE, nous allons prendre du retard dans sa mise en uvre pour l' an 2000, et il est vrai que les ONG, les opérateurs sur le terrain, attendent nos crédits.
