Fru formand, jeg tænker tilbage på dette tidspunkt sidste år, og ville der mon, hvis vi havde haft denne forhandling i februar 1996, have været en sådan enighed om Kommissionens forslag og om Mayerbetænkningen?
Madam President, I think back to this time last year and I wonder, if we had had this debate in February 1996, whether there would have been quite such a consensus in favour of the Commission proposals and in favour of the Mayer report.
