lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I suspect I will feel a little bit like Banquo’s ghost in this debate, in that my group is manifestly not as content or happy with the outcome of this process as other groups. I would record my appreciation to our rapporteur, who has worked very hard on this, the shadows also, but the fact is we could have done better. I gently suggest to Mr Dorfmann that, if you support the text of our amendment, then support it now. We are the colegislator on agricultural issues. If we could have done better than we have achieved at present, let us stick to our guns and deliver more for our quality products than is on the table. I do not think we have won anything like what we could have won had we stuck to our original ambitions within the committee. That is not to say that there are not things to admire; there are steps forward and that is positive. We see that the Council is not here today, as Mr Dorfmann says, and they have not treated us well throughout this process. Amendment 87 was a key priority for our committee, but it was not taken seriously enough. We have retabled it as Amendment 103, and I do urge colleagues to support it. If that means that we do not get a first-reading agreement, then we come back as colegislator to do our job."@en1
