One key reason is that the bill vetoed today was a carefully balanced compromise.

But the Commission nonetheless believes that it is a balanced compromise.

What resulted from the Copenhagen negotiations was a balanced compromise between different interests.

I am therefore glad that a balanced compromise has been found on this controversial question.

Finding a balanced compromise will be difficult, but the Commission will do all it can to help achieve this.

The ceiling of 30 000 proposed by the Commission is a balanced and reasonable compromise.

All in all, I find the final text a satisfactory and balanced compromise.

Ladies and gentlemen, though we are prepared to make do with a balanced compromise, let us not forget that it is by default.

The final text can be deemed a pleasing and balanced compromise.

I am confident that an acceptable and balanced compromise is now within our reach.
