Hr. formand, som flere af mine forgængere i forhandlingen denne formiddag vil jeg gerne takke hr. Alexandre Lamfalussy for hans arbejde som leder af Det Europæiske Monetære Institut og for hans forhold til vor institution, som ikke altid er en nem institution.
Mr President, like many of the earlier speakers this morning, I should like to thank Mr Alexandre Lamfalussy for his work at the head of the European Monetary Institute and his relations with his institution, in the knowledge that we are not always easy to deal with.
