Why has this matter been raised again?

WURTZ (CG). (FR) Mr President, several dozen dead, several hundred injured and nearly a thousand arrested that is the terrible toll of the latest massacre perpetrated by the Israeli occupying forces against the Palestinian people.

DE VRIES (LDR). Mr President, on the same point you just brought up.

I tried to attract the attention of the President in the Chair but was unable to make a point of order.

Transitional measures are necessary in some sectors.

During the votes at lunchtime today I tried to raise a point of order.

We all know the terms of that proposal Tarik Aziz to visit Washington, and Baker to visit Baghdad.

Chekhov said, The solution to a problem and the correct way of posing the question are two completely separate things.

During the discussion period please feel free to raise any questions on other aspects of the ECB 's operations .

Yet every attempt by Greece even to raise the issue was brutally rebuffed by its counterparties.

That is why the Commission proposed a special financial instrument which would make it possible for the Community, both in the form of direct grants to cover expenditure and in the form of loans, to take action immediately major economic problems arise for a Member State or group of Member States or in the event that it proves to be a necessary precondition for the implementation of the third stage.

The other point I want to make is that we are talking all the time about the impact on farmers but it is not farmers only.

In their contacts with all the parties concerned in the region, the Community and its Member states have not ceased to raise the question of the hostages.

That's the argument I want to make tonight.

Tom hesitated to bring up the subject.

European social model, characterized by trade union freedom, equal treatment, no discrimination, the right to a sufficiently remunerated job, collective bargaining, public social protection, etc..

The teapot problem I'll pose this way.

Thus, apart from political union, it is necessary to guarantee in the immediate term the success of the first phase of Economic and Monetary Union.

The first step was to ask a question.

The duty of Parliament is to ask questions and he well knows that.

Consequently Europe, as it is being built at present, is in danger of erecting a new and involuntary barrier against the countries of Eastern Europe.

These are being done by a non governmental organization, which has entered into a contract for the repair work with six other institutes and also with the Ministry of Labour.

I am trying to ask my questions in French.

The third problem concerns the Community's future relations with the USSR.

Indeed, the Presidency of the Conference of Ministers responsible for Immigration intends to raise the question of immigration from Central and Eastern Europe at their meeting on 7 December.

In response to the tensions, Hong Kong's government has promised to raise the issue with Beijing, requesting authorities amend the multiple entry visa policy and impose a quota on entries into Hong Kong.

That mission also comprised a team of heating specialists, which has assessed the situation in the orphanages and drawn up an inventory of what needs to be done and what spare parts are required to make the installations operational for the winter.

Any Member State, the Union Minister for Foreign Affairs, or that Minister with the Commission's support, may refer any question relating to the common foreign and security policy to the Council and may submit to it initiatives or proposals as appropriate.2.

For that reason it is essential that we should reconfirm that aim and stress that the doubling in question should be in real terms.

Now let's turn to two countries, Country A and Country B.

PATTERSON (ED). Mr President, in reply to Mr Ford, I would say that he knows the Rules of Procedure very well indeed.

That would be the correct procedure. I therefore ask you to proceed in that way as President you have the power to do so then we shall be able to move on from this debate, because there will be no more requests to speak.

PRESIDENT. (GR) Mr Patterson, I see that you are getting tired of raising the same substantive point, but I shall not tire of repeating the same reply to you.

Furthermore, it will have to be demonstrated that the regional, local and national policies have the complementary character required by this directive.

Having said that, it only remains for me to add that our overriding concern has been to try to ensure that this institution was not left out of the process of establishing the interim measures to be adopted over the coming months, until the whole legislative package is approved.

Asking this question, and debating it politically, is more important than ever.

Well, I think it's about four steps, roughly speaking, starting with posing the right question.

In fact, whilst the European Community, with its subsidies, assists 39 per cent of farm production for eleven million producers with an average farm size of 14.5 hectares, the US supports 31 per cent of produc tion, for about 2 million farmers, with an average farm size of 250 hectares.

We need to postulate a completely different paradigm to explain all these phenomena.

Now, why do I think now is the moment to make this argument?
