We have reservations about that approach.

We have exhausted fish stocks.

We only have two percent of the world's oil reserves

But goodwill is one thing, Mr President, and political will another.

Those are the two reservations that we have.

You know, we've built up reserves. Why is that important?

We have reservations, on the other hand, with regard to the formulation of other points.

That being said, we have some apprehensions and some reservations.

However, we have reservations on the resolution itself.

However, we have reservations on the sixth preambular paragraph.

To sum up, I believe that the agreement is a very positive step forward.

There are nonetheless a number of features of the report about which we have reservations.

The second divisive issue that is causing problems is the use of stocks.

As we said last year, we also have some reservations about the report of the Group of Governmental Experts.

This is why we have endorsed the Interinstitutional Agreement, albeit with reservations.

We invested 30,000 of our own money from our savings accounts and our IRAs, and we thought, you know what?

First, there are limited supplies of fossil fuels, so the more we use, the less we've got.

It was said, though, out of fear of the net contributors, that we still had the reserves, and that we could call on them if it came to that.

We have had to resort to the reserves in the different areas.

So we have reservations about the accuracy of the report but we welcome it and have voted in favour.

In particular we have reservations concerning resolution GC(XXXVII) RES 624 of 1 October 1993.

We need the greatest possible amount of monitoring of fish stocks. This must be conducted on an ongoing basis.

We have major reservations on many issues, especially the Charter of Fundamental Rights, for various reasons.

We started with the National Food Authority, a government corporation tasked with ensuring an adequate supply of rice.

The second condition for giving this programme credibility quite apart, I repeat, from questions of detail, which we shall have time to dwell on later is the Commission's position in regard to this programme.

We've talked about the central bank reserves that banks keep in their accounts at the Bank of England.

The genetic changes that we are bringing about in our fish stocks are going largely unrecognized.

It is also germane to the case, Mr President, that the members of the ANC for whom these arms and explosives were intended make it their customary practice to direct the bulk of their terrorist activities against black communities, among whom most of their attacks result in the loss of innocent lives, including women and children.

Although I endorse the resolution we have submitted, I do have concerns, which are based on our manifest powerlessness.

Moreover, Mr President, yesterday's debate clearly illustrated to what extent the approval of this Social Charter has not influenced social affairs.

From now on, stocks will be regularly and scientifically monitored, and we have stipulated that, if the size of the stocks changes, then fishing opportunities must be adjusted accordingly, as must the relevant financial compensation.

But the regulation committees in fact reduce that power, which is why, despite other reservations, we have voted for the amended version of Mr Hänsch's report.

We have grave reservations about this being in conflict with the principle of subsidiarity.

These stabilizers, taken individually, give us serious grounds for concern.

And we have some solutions and we have

We have books, we have our studies, and we have interesting neighbours.

For those reasons, we express our reservations with respect to the third preambular paragraph and operative paragraph 12 of the draft resolution.

Reserves are like savings accounts. We have this principal that we don't touch that produces returns, social, economic and ecological.

It is unfortunate that the concerns and reservations that we harboured on your special envoy were only proven right.

That smoothened out. We were able to save, just before I left, 27 billion dollars. Whereas and this went to our reserves when I arrived in 2003, we had seven billion dollars in reserves.

Projects we've done. Projects we've been a part of, support.

Our report also introduces an additional model for strengthening the transparency of this procedure and I would therefore ask that you vote in favour of increasing the reserves.

We stopped drilling in ANWR, but we didn't actually reduce the amount of oil that we consumed.

We might try to tap bio fuels, but only in forms that do not compete with food supplies or with precious environmental assets.

And we had reservations about this on the front end.
