So, is there a better way to accomplish that goal?

That is what we are aiming to achieve.

We shall do everything in our power to achieve this objective.

Unfortunately, the Member States are shrinking from making the decisions necessary for all this to come about.

Unfortunately, the most recent debates failed to achieve that goal.

Does the Commission share this view, and how will it achieve this?

The Parliament and the Commission must come together with a joint strategy to reach that objective.

We must give them all our support to reach that goal.

Both sides need to make an effort if we are to achieve this objective.

As is so often the case, there is conflict not about the target, but about how to achieve this target.

I believe that a guaranteed universal service is the only way to achieve this aim in practice.

This is the intention and it must be the ultimate goal.

However, this objective cannot be achieved without a suitable, operational tool.

But in achieving that objective, I for one will not see the rights of Parliament sacrificed.

They must function, and I hope that we can achieve that.

A very heavy agenda indeed.

I believe this report will help us reach this goal.

At the time we decided by a large majority to confront the Council in order to achieve this aim.

Liberalisation can sometimes be a means to achieving this, but never an end in itself.

The Lisbon Agenda is the best mechanism for achieving this goal in a demanding and competitive global context.

Reach a goal

It remains to be seen in the analysis of the votes whether this objective has been achieved.

That is a very important objective and it will be quite tricky to achieve.

We believe additional reinforcement is needed.

There were doubts whether the target return on own resources of 7 for 2006 was sufficient for this.

To achieve that objective, you can count on the loyal support of the Liberal Group, but let me tell you now that that support will be exacting.

For my part, I am ready to enter discussions with the committee and the European Parliament's administration to achieve this.

National and international conferences are not necessarily the best way of doing that.

The positive list to be produced by the end of 2002 should make that possible.

Even in the tourism industry.

How can we achieve this objective?

Finally, we will not move forward without compromise.

Many of the Member States have already taken steps towards this goal.

In accordance with the principle of proportionality , as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty , this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve that objective .

In accordance with the principle of proportionality , as set out in that Article , this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective .

However, we are disappointed with the resources used by the international community to achieve this goal, and more specifically, with the EU's powerlessness.

In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in the said Article 5, this Decision does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

Voting procedure a motion put to the vote is adopted if it receives a majority of the votes cast by the ACP representatives and the EEC representatives.

I believe this objective is very difficult to achieve without closing down the fish farming sector concerned.

According to Commissioner Schreyer today, that will not be very easy to achieve.

The Commission's description of how we get there is, however, incorrect and inadequate.

We cannot achieve this goal if we continue with policies that pull in different directions and even undermine each other.

That being so, we now have to boldly take the last step and make the 2006 stage binding as well, firstly, in order to make the objective mandatory.

As regards the path towards that aim, however, there is a difference of opinion between the Council and Parliament.

If there are to be common EC rules, it must be clearly and unequivocally stated that they are minimum rules, under which all countries are free to go further in the direction of social protection.
