Jeg beklager det, der er sket, for jeg har forstået, eller jeg tror at have forstået kommissæren således, at han vil fortsætte dialogen og fastholde den betydning, han tillægger ngo'erne, men i denne forbindelse vil jeg gerne stille et spørgsmål. Hr. kommissær, vi parlamentsmedlemmer, nærmere bestemt Den Socialdemokratiske Gruppe, vil naturligvis ikke forsvare eller ignorere en eventuel dårlig forvaltning fra koordineringsorganet for de ikke-statslige organisationers side (CLONG), men vi synes, at det politiske princip om dialog med ngo'erne er meget vigtigt, og en stor del af disse ngo'er er repræsenteret ved CLONG.
I am sorry for what has happened, because I heard, or I think I heard the Commissioner say that he will keep up the dialogue and continue to regard NGOs as important, but in this context I should like to ask the following question: clearly, Commissioner, we as Members of Parliament, and specifically the Socialist Group, are not going to uphold or overlook the possible bad management by the NGO Liaison Committee (CLONG), but we do think that the political principle of dialogue with the NGOs is very important, and a large proportion of these NGOs is represented by the CLONG.
