Det er efter min mening slet ikke til diskussion, at disse nationale aftaler naturligvis skal være i overensstemmelse med EU-lovgivningen, men det kan ikke være rigtigt, at medlemsstaternes spontanitet og suverænitet i den grad begrænses, at man for hver enkelt aftale ikke blot skal anmelde, at forhandlingerne indledes, men at resultatet skal forelægges for og godkendes af Kommissionen.
That these national agreements obviously have to be in accordance with Community law is, as I see it, not in question, but it is unacceptable for the spontaneity and sovereignty of the Member States to be restricted in such a way that, for each agreement, they not only, as it were, have to report that the negotiations have started, but also present the results and have them approved by the Commission.
