Hr. formand Giscard, jeg husker nøjagtigt, hvordan jeg i januar 1992, da vores gruppeformand Egon Klepsch blev valgt til Parlamentets formand, måtte stå bag ved Dem, således at vi sammen - først De, så jeg beskedent bagved - kunne afgive vores stemme til Leo Tindemans som gruppeformand.
President Giscard, I have a clear recollection of how, in January 1992, when Egon Klepsch, the chairman of our group, was elected President of the European Parliament, I stood behind you as we together - you first, with me following modestly behind - cast our votes for Leo Tindemans as group chairman.
