Mr President, just a few words to say to Mr Lamy that I am not a self-appointed advocate of unanimity in all cases. I did say that majority voting could be useful when safeguard measures were being taken, because in such cases all of the countries have to show solidarity. But when it is a question of reducing our protection, unanimity is, I believe, useful, because it is not right that a majority should be able to impose measures that damage the interests of a minority of Member States.
