lpv:translated text	". Mr President, in the final vote, our group voted against the Casaca report. We did so somewhat reluctantly, because Mr Casaca has done a very good job: for this he deserves credit. We agree with the spirit of the resolution, but do not share its final conclusion. At the present time, the political momentum is to postpone discharge for six months. There is every reason to turn up the pressure several notches after four years of plodding along. Let us not go by the Commission’s pledges and assurances this time, but await their action and the results this produces; otherwise, Parliament will fail in its most important task: that of keeping the Commission in check. By giving discharge, the majority in this Parliament has let this chance slip, and, regrettably, the Commission has once more succeeded in obtaining a licence to mess about for the next two years. We wish to distance ourselves from this irresponsibly lax position."@en1
