Translation of "Habe ich entnommen" in English

I SEE FROM YOUR LETTER THAT YOU ARE, YOURSELF, THE DAUGHTER OF A COUNTRY PARSON,

I understood so from your letter, Mr. Bentley.

I have found reward in its pages.

I've seen that, too.

I understand all the drivages are on piecework.

The accurate times I took from literature, like:

I gathered from Mr Collins' comments that there are still some uncertainties.

You have assured me of your continued interest.

I also took it from your comments that you want us to be very isolated from the rest of the world, that if people do not have the same standards as us we are not going to trade with them.

On the basis of the negotiations that have taken place between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation I understand that it will in accordance with Article 17(2) of the Agreement only be possible for the Swiss Confederation to apply the Agreement from 1 July 2005 and this on the understanding that Swiss constitutional requirements will be met by that date.

On reading the Commission's recent communication entitled 'The outermost regions: an asset for Europe', I saw that the Commission wants to apply all the recommendations on improving governance in cohesion policy to the outermost regions, thus making them a pioneer example of the implementation of territorial cohesion.

From your speeches, ladies and gentlemen, I have understood that everyone is agreed on this point, even if the recommended solutions differ according to the speaker.

But there is one thing I would like to know. I understand from a major German newspaper that as from the year 2002 for field crops, 2004 for beef and 2005 for milk products, the respective compensatory payments will be reduced cumulatively by 3 % a year and that the intention is to reuse only 25 % of these cuts for special agricultural measures, which means that 75 % goes back into the EU budget.

On listening to Mr Prodi's speeches, I noticed that he plans to use his position to enhance the role of the European Union in urban areas.

Actually, I heard from the interpretation that the person who made the suggestion was English.

Mr President, from what I can gather from the first part of the Commissioner' s answer, the Commission is totally indifferent to the negative impact the damaged bridges over the Danube will have and is only concerned about how it can make use of this natural disaster - which it in fact helped to bring about - to overturn the legally and democratically elected leadership in Yugoslavia.

In their response, I note that the Commission has already launched a public consultation and has held hearings to exchange views with stakeholders.

So, even if it is not revolutionary, I see a strong meaningful value in having it and certainly, as I sense in our discussions over the months between the Commission and Parliament in this field, we have real value in having this shared framework of what it is that we think about when we talk about the development policy paper.

Reading the Spanish press, I have seen that the problem was a very complicated one, that there was unquestionably a difference of opinion between the judicial authorities and the governmental authorities.

From the Conference of Presidents report, I noticed that you have held talks with the prime ministers of the Member States.

I also understood from his answers that the Commission is in the process of systematically looking into where, within the dormant funds, further possibilities lie for achieving a considerable increase.

I noticed in the proposals that large enterprises are entitled to a top-up, a bonus of 15% of aid intensity if two or more of them join forces across borders.

From the conversations I have had with them, I understand that China sees accession to the WTO as an essential element in the continuation of these twenty years of reforms, and, therefore, a continuation of this growth which has allowed internal tensions to be kept under control, here or there.

From what the Commissioner has said this evening, I think that message has been received loud and clear, although I look forward to receiving his actual proposals.

For another, from what the representative of the Commission said' just now, it would not be in the Commission's interests for us to adopt a position in which we tell our negotiating partners whom they should include in their delegations.

Now ten Members did not object, and this amendment — Amendment No 4 — was put to the vote. I have ascertained from the electronic vote that you and your group voted against Amendment No 4.
