"Mr President, I shall just speak very briefly to tell Mr De Keyser that he must have been wrongly informed. There is no resistance from Parliament. Parliament voted for a common position, which did not even amend the common position decreed by the Council, with regard to ethical problems. Parliament accepted a compromise integrating all the amendments voted for by Parliament on a whole series of issues, and we learned quite by chance in July that the Council was going back on its word. It is the Council’s bad faith that Parliament is condemning. That is why the rapporteur, the chairman of the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy and the shadow rapporteurs meet regularly in order to represent Parliament to the Council, ask to be involved in negotiations and ensure that the Council’s word and the word of the Spanish Presidency are respected by the Danish Presidency. It is very simple: there is no threat from anyone at all in this area. Parliament is extremely responsible and, during the codecision procedure, did not want to go as far as conciliation and so accepted a compromise. It is this compromise that is disputed by the Council and we must all be unanimous, whatever our opinions on ethical problems, in denouncing this kind of behaviour."@en1
