lpv:spoken text	". – Mr President, it becomes clear that the Socialists are shifting ground as we go through this debate. The original text of Paragraph 16 states that it is inevitable that "a significant increase of defence expenditures to fill the current capability gap" will be needed. I agreed in discussions with the Socialist Group to alter that to "an increase" on the assumption that our Amendment No 40 would be the basis for our compromise. We then went further, and I agreed to put an oral amendment stating it should be "adequate defence expenditure". As the Socialist Group has withdrawn its approval of Amendment No 40 at it stands, I suggest we revert to the original wording of Paragraph 16 – "significant increase" – and vote on that text first."@en1
