Hvis det ikke havde forholdt sig sådan, at der heller ikke i Rådet er enighed, ikke en gang et næstent flertal, men fuldstændig uenighed, så kunne det være endt med, at Rådet havde fulgt Kommissionen og vedtaget beslutningen, mens Parlamentet netop havde en helt anden holdning.
If it were not for the fact that there was no question at all of unanimity in the Council, not even unanimity minus one, then the Council might well have agreed with the Commission and might have accepted the decision, despite Parliament's very different views.
