lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I must admit that I am not satisfied with the Commission’s reply today. I am not happy with it because if I have understood correctly, the Commission is telling us, “Yes you are right in saying that the agreement has been breached; the problem is how to go about fixing it.” I do not think this is convincing enough. To my knowledge, we have a number of agreements with Switzerland in various sectors and we also have a safeguard clause with this same country. This guillotine clause stipulates that if Switzerland goes against any of its obligations in at least one of its agreements with us, then all the sectorial agreements that Switzerland has with the European Union will fall through. This is why I do not expect the Commission to stand before us today and tell us that it does not know how to solve this problem. I expect the Commission to come here and say, “We have a problem and I am going to do my utmost to ensure that the European Union does not let itself split from other countries and allow other countries to exploit this chasm.” The European Commission is obliged to defend all European Union countries, especially on an international level, when it is representing us with regard to third countries."@en1
