The Parliament sought to make it compulsory for banks to keep records of all their deals for at least five years.

Parliament, which is dominated by former Communists, is seeking to control a process that has hardly begun.

It is an explanation that Parliament is now seeking.

Great credit is due to the Council for taking on board so many of the amendments Parliament sought to bring forward after first reading.

Each year Parliament seeks to use the budget process to support the Commission's efforts to improve delivery, which we are happy to accept.

In spite of the various sources of tension, Parliament sought to be there on the ground.

I am hopeful that, in preparing its first reading, Parliament will seek to redress this situation.

The Commission and Parliament now seek to follow the same approaches.

First, it should be said that Parliament did not seek this agreement, we want the implementation of the 1991 regulation.

I can therefore see no reason why Parliament should seek to block this move.
