Sådan er det nu engang i international folkeret, og derfor vil jeg gerne på Det Europæiske Folkepartis Gruppes vegne give Kommissionen det råd at gøre alt for - sir Leon, De kaldte det officielt - at finde ud af i forhandlinger med USA's regering, hvori mulighederne for en løsning af konflikten ligger, uden at det påvirker den endelige WTO-beslutning, alene af den grund, at vi får ualmindeligt mange konflikter med USA i de kommende år.
That happens to be the way things go in international law, which is why I would advise the Commission, on behalf of the European People's Party, to do all it can to explore further in the discussions - which Sir Leon described as informal - with the US Administration where there are possibilities of resolving the conflict, rather than leaving it to the final WTO decision, if only because we will be facing an incredible number of points of conflict with the USA in the coming years.
