"Mr President, may I request, if the Members agree, that we vote
on all the proposed amendments to the resolution on Nicaragua, given that they all go in the same direction. I should like to say two words about why this is not a joint resolution and why the PPE has tabled proposed amendments to its own resolution. The reason is that we held a meeting on Tuesday with a view to finding a joint resolution and the other groups, especially the Liberals and the Social Democrats, warned us that they would be unable to support certain clauses in the resolution. So we said, let us take the controversial points out and just leave the essentials in. We therefore only have things in it which are unanimously supported by Parliament. Commissioner Verheugen also clearly stated that Parliament should express a view on this matter.
As the Liberals and Social Democrats were still unable to sign the joint resolution which we negotiated, we said we will table proposed amendments which water down our own resolution somewhat, in order to give Members the possibility in the end of voting in favour."@en1
