These new teachers must meet higher standards imposed in the last five years by nearly every state.

My second reason is that I do not know how we can impose standards in every area.

What must not be allowed to happen is standards being imposed by the Commission through the back door.

But we are not going to impose Catholic standards on the whole community.

Although trade groups try to impose standards, no particular training is required and companies can choose anyone for the job.

But they want to impose such standards on themselves, rather than having them imposed by government.

Why, then, should we impose standards that will not apply to all of them?

"The world is imposing very high standards on us which they don't even impose in their own countries," he said.

The rules would impose minimum standards for state and local laws.

It would be a considerable change in policy if we were to impose European standards on other countries.
