It seems like you've provided a passage discussing the dynamics and positions of different countries regarding the Broiler Directive. The passage mentions that despite most countries, including Spain and Italy, accepting a compromise, a few countries, including France, held firm in their opposition. Estonia, Lithuania, and Malta supported the measure, but Belgium and Finland opposed it, even though some countries preferring weaker standards supported it. Additionally, Slovenia and Finland found themselves on opposite sides of the vote, despite having similar preferences and assigning the same level of importance to the issue (Thomson et al., 2012).
