We are in agreement to remove the words “ne sont utilisées que”, that is, transforming a negation into an affirmation. What you want to do is go further, and we don’t agree with that. Following the recommendations of Ms. Borges, who said the words “ne [...] que” could be changed to give a positive connotation to the sentence, we went along with that idea. If you want to go further, then we’re going to be obliged to vote against the amendment. We have to be careful, because if there are no other motions, the risk is we’ll find ourselves faced with the old one again.
