Må jeg også i forbifarten sige, at selv om mange betragtede topmødet i Edinburgh som en stor succes for det britiske formandskab, så gjorde de ressourcer, der blev bevilget til mål 2-områder — hvoraf mange befinder sig i Det Forenede Kongerige — ikke Edinburgh til en succes for Wales, Skotland og store dele af England.
May I also say in passing that although the Edinburgh Summit was judged by many to be an out standing success for the British presidency, the resources in my view which were allocated to Objective 2 areas — many of which are in the United Kingdom — did not make Edinburgh a success for Wales, Scotland and large areas of England.
