This, I believe, is a maxim that should be taken to heart.

These two recommendations are undeniably logical and deserve serious thought.

369 (c) Commitments undertaken in virtue of international coventions must be given full implementation in domestic law.

On a very small number of points we can argue in favour of a different wording or, indeed, deeper reflection.

I regard this as an interesting proposal which merits reflection and in depth consideration.

In that way, they will have further work to do by way of subsequent amendment when the directive has been adopted.

This is an issue on which a more thorough discussion is needed, based on a full and rigorous study of the workings of the current system.

But I would like to call you attention to the need for further reflection on two specific points.

To offer a more thorough reflection on the struggle for gender equality on the internet, we will present Coral Herrera s work in two parts.

in depth reflection and a very wide ranging basic debate prior to a directive laying down the rules to be adopted.

In his report and his speech today the rapporteur has illustrated excellently the history of the Joint Research Centre and has drawn a parallel with national research centres and other international research centres.

Health policy in Europe should not, however, be limited to the text on which we are about to vote, and should have been the subject of a more thorough deliberation.

As has already been stated, it is essential to undertake an in depth study of the working procedures of the WTO and its organisational structure.

Amendment No 18 concerns an issue which might possibly be dealt with more thorough ly at a different time.

How can we wait nine years before eliminating PCB waste?

Further elaboration on this issue would therefore be welcomed .

However, this impression fades after more detailed analysis.

Recent developments in human cloning in the United States have once again highlighted the need for, and the urgency of, in depth political reflection in this area, including and especially at European level.

It could be maintained that in overall terms the legislation proposed is better than nothing, but to the Commission it nevertheless appeared insufficient and far from reassuring.

This raises the sensitive issue of how the companies concerned can be controlled, and it means that we need to think more about the role of the European Community in relation to third countries, and in particular the United States.

Therefore, I believe that this issue warrants more profound analysis.

Once again, decisions were postponed in favour of further study.

I would also like to make a more general point.

More generally, a thorough look at all our policies is needed to take account of the quantitative and, even more so, the qualitative aspects of the new environment we will be working in after enlargement.

But the key question remains what do we ultimately wish to achieve?

But on closer inspection it is nevertheless correct.

It must grow, reform itself and engage in deeper cooperation.

I share the view that we ought to discuss it more thoroughly.

The Commission went on to explain that it considered a more thorough analysis of the issue to be necessary.

Instead of put ting a stop to the waste on surplus products we have half measures.

Other speakers have spoken about distance and safety.

Secondly, I have tabled an amendment on behalf of a number of colleagues on the question of animal suffering.

I tend to go along with Mr Delors' assertion that it would be realistic of us in the European Community to prepare ourselves for a few lean years.

Above all, we regret that there was not a more thorough debate of this new issue.

I should like to know whether you can elaborate on your statement that the opinions of the experts were still awaiting analysis.

But more intensive consideration could change people s mind.

Therefore, allow me to make a rather more general comment.

Under these circumstances, it is vital to reflect at length on how to minimise the negative effects and maximise the potential released for European Union businesses by liberalised markets.

Can Europe seriously be exonerated from the need to carry out an in depth analysis of a policy that accounts for almost half of its budget, at a time when it is preparing to welcome 10 new countries?

A final comment.

In particular, this will entail cooperation on technology and in research, which clearly falls within the Commission's and Community's terms of reference.

This type of information helps develop a deeper understanding of the composition of the returns .

I like to have a deep conversation with a more academic person from time to time.

He may seem unremarkable at first glance, but fails the test upon further inspection.

As I have said to you in the past, political cooperation is not progressing fast enough in relation to economic and social integration.
