Not because I do not have sympathy for these Member States' demands, but because I believe that in introducing this we would again be contravening the overall principle and we would again be in breach of the provisions of the Treaty, which provides precisely for a standard visa list comprising a list of countries which are subject to visa requirements and a list of those which are not.
Det er ikke fordi, at jeg ikke har forståelse for kravene i disse medlemsstater, men fordi jeg tror, at vi så igen bryder princippet, og at vi på denne måde igen overtræder bestemmelserne i traktaten, der netop påtænker en fælles visumliste, en liste over de stater, hvor der er visumkrav, og en liste over de stater, der er fritaget for visumkrav.
