Jeg beklager, at Parlamentet hverken er blevet hørt eller holdt orienteret under forhandlingerne om denne tilbagetagelsesaftale, som vi skal afgive udtalelse om, efter at aftalen er trådt i kraft - og desuden efter at Rådet (landbrug) den 23. december vedtog beslutningen om at godkende underskrivelsen.
I regret that Parliament has been neither consulted nor kept informed during the negotiations on this readmission agreement, that we find ourselves in the position of having to deliver our opinion after the agreement has been initialled - and, moreover, after the Agriculture Council on 23 December adopted the decision authorising its signing.
