lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I must state my opposition to this request to postpone the vote. I do not think that there is any shortage of arguments against taking such action. I know that the tobacco industry lobby is most anxious to prevent this directive and I think that this request is yet another ploy to prevent a vote, which is clearly a matter of urgency, from taking place. I would remind you that the Council postponed its review of this dossier until it had heard Parliament’s views. If we postpone our vote, the tobacco industry will gain even more time, since the Council will then not be able to state its position until the end of June. Furthermore, I think that Mr Maaten and the Commission on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy have produced a good piece of work. It is true that many amendments have been tabled and also that in future we will have to make efforts to improve our work so that fewer amendments are tabled in plenary. As it happens, however, I do not think that this would in any way justify postponing the vote. Everything is in place for a vote to be held."@en1
