I believe that if the Council shows itself to be flexible there is a margin within which we could work.

During the second reading, the Council again showed little flexibility and openness to our demands.

Next week the European Council must show a similar commitment to growth and jobs.

The Council has shown that it can agree on a really important subject.

On the one hand, we welcome the fact that the Council is showing an interest in this.

We therefore request the Council to show political responsibility and coherence.

If the Council shows no inclination to speak, we can only note that fact.

The Council has shown no signs of a social conscience in this matter.

The Council did not show any very serious commitment.

I assume that the constructive approach which the Council has shown here will actually be carried through.
