lpv:translated text	"Mr President, whilst we set out with a premature proposal by the committee, under Mr Jarzembowski’s leadership, a sound package of amendment proposals was thrashed out with built-in certainty, with more certainty for companies and port workers, and without self-handling. The news of this last aspect still does not seem to have got through to the trade union movement, or to some Members of this House for that matter. Sadly, battle and emotion appear to have prevailed over a sound discussion on content and, Commissioner, it is not what you say, it is the way you say it It all stems from the Commission, your predecessor in fact, who started a flawed discussion. Why do you not withdraw this directive? I would like you to explain this for me in a moment, for that would be the best solution all round. However, today’s political reality is that there is insufficient support for the hefty package of amendment proposals by the Committee on Transport and Tourism, where it enjoyed a narrow majority. Since there is insufficient support for the package of amendment proposals, we cannot back this directive. I do remain convinced, though, that we need port policy specifically tailored to Europe. This has been amply clarified by Members of this House, first among them Mr Jarzembowski, with whom, and on behalf of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, I have tabled a proposal. We would ask the Commissioner to present a document setting out its vision of port policy in the broadest sense, including competition between the ports, as a basis for what we hope will be a sound discussion this time. Are you prepared, Commissioner, to draft a substantive discussion document of that kind? Would you also include the body of ideas from the package of amendment proposals, as prepared by Mr Jarzembowski? Let us hope that that will prompt a sound discussion."@en1
