consumer essential proposals
The proposals are essential for the enhancement of consumer confidence,
begin confidence consumer minimum necessary process
the very minimum necessary to begin the process of re-building consumer confidence in beef.
consumers major needed protection provide
This is a major breakthrough that will provide consumers with much needed protection and rights,
beef consumers countries ensure exports expose france french higher measures risk
I need clarification of the measures which France intends to put in place to ensure that its beef exports do not expose consumers in other countries to a higher risk than French consumers.

Consumers now clearly want copper-fastened guarantees that these controls are being implemented,
connection consumers encourage feeling happens mean music passive people products reins whatever
I encourage people not to be passive consumers of music and of culture in general. And feeling like, yeah, you can enjoy the products of professionals, but that doesn't mean you don't have to completely give up the reins and give up every connection to music or whatever it happens to be.

minimum reduce risk trying
We can say we're trying to reduce the risk to the minimum but there is no such thing as risk-free,
thinking trying balance
I think sometimes I get carried away, like I'm speaking to an imaginary audience rather than just trying to figure something out for myself. Ideally, I try to balance that - that I'm asking these questions of myself, how does this work, why does this happen, what's going on here.
europe america interesting
I'd been keeping tour diaries, and especially when I go somewhere where I felt the experience might be interesting, like Eastern Europe or South America or whatever, where the whole perception of what I was doing there and stuff that I was seeing and music I was hearing, I could put all that into a diary.
culture stuff depth
Some things, I feel like no, I never could have the depth of experience of their own music and culture - but sometimes if I'm collaborating with somebody, they're interested in me bringing my own stuff into their thing, and sometimes that works.
moving emotional thinking
I'm being probably naïve, but I would like to think that once something moves you and you have an emotional involvement with it, and you see some relevance in it to your own life, then it's a little bit harder, maybe, to look at the people that produced it as being just exotic others that don't have any connection to you or relevance to you.
people needs stuff
There are a lot of people that don't scour websites regularly or read music reviews. They need whatever, the other kinds of stuff, whether it's an appearance on Lettterman or posters or ads. They need to kind of be hit more in the face and be told that there's something new out there.
