English-Danish translations for miserly

gerrigPå grund af disse udfordringer må vi ikke være gerrige over for vores borgere. Faced with these challenges, we cannot be miserly towards our citizens. For en del af problemet er disse gerrige regeringer - hr. Watson har allerede nævnt det - som gør præcis det, Rådet vil. The fact of the matter is that these miserly governments, to which Mr Watson has already referred, and who do exactly what the Council wants of them, are part of the problem. Det har langt fra været en nem opgave, idet Rådets oprindelige gerrige holdning vanskeliggjorde opgaven, selv om vi alle stod sammen om et fælles mål. As I say, it has not been a path strewn with roses: far from it, because, although we were all united by a common goal, the Council's initial miserly attitude made it a difficult journey.
gnieragtigDet er en skam, hr. formand, at nogle europæiske regeringer i stedet for at følge trop på en meget gnieragtig måde har forsøgt at skære i FRONTEX-budgettet. It is a pity, Mr President, that, rather than follow suit, some European governments have, in a most miserly manner, tried to cut the FRONTEX budget.

nærigVisse andre lande har insisteret på en nærig og selvudslettende politik om, at militære udgifter skal betales, der hvor de bruges.

Hr. formand, lige så gavmild Europa var med smukke ord ved afskaffelsen af apartheid, lige så nærig viste det sig i forbindelse med økonomiske indrømmelser. Mr President, Europe was as lavish with its fine words when apartheid was abolished as it proved to be miserly when it came to economic concessions.
