lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I had really prepared myself for making a positive speech about higher quality European blood products, but I have to say that the way in which Mr Nisticò has acted as rapporteur on this matter is beneath contempt. As late as last week, we made an agreement with Mr Nisticò while the Commission and the Council were present, and this agreement led to our compromising by tabling Amendment No 19 through which the definition of unpaid blood donation is transferred to the recitals. This was a compromise, even though Mr Nisticò is now shaking his head. What is happening in this case is simply dishonest. What Mr Nisticò is doing is beneath all contempt, and I should therefore like to say that, in connection with the vote later today, you should be prepared for our requesting a postponement. I will not tolerate this approach. It is not the way to treat fellow MEPs in Parliament. Both the Commission and the Council, whose presidency was represented at the meeting in question, accepted this draft compromise, as did Mr Nisticò on behalf of his group and as rapporteur. To come here to the second reading in Parliament and, in spite of everything, state an unwillingness to stand by the agreement we had entered into is therefore quite extraordinary. That is in any case the last agreement I enter into with Mr Nisticò and, as I say, we shall do what we can to have the vote on this matter postponed so that we can have it debated in detail with the leaders of the Group of the Europe People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats and with the coordinator of that group in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy. What has happened in this matter is simply awful, and we shall not tolerate it."@en1
