| Message | Herr Huspresident, We would agree to articles 3, 6, 7, 8. If it were only these articles, we would sign it without further debate. The others are debatable, and involve difficult questions, which we might get to if the bill gets enough support from the other parties, so we need to negotiate about it. - Rebekka Töffting (Kj) |
