Indtil nu har EU været repræsenteret af alle de enkelte medlemsstater, og så vidt jeg med min begrænsede viden kan se, bidrager dette også til konferencens arbejde på grund af medlemsstaternes mange forskellige retlige traditioner og relative retlige erfaring.
Up until now, the Community has been represented by all its individual Member States and, from my limited observations, that also brings a richness and strength to the work of the conference because of the diversity of our own legal traditions and our own comparative legal experience.
