Hr. Rübig, som formand for Rådet har jeg ikke noget svar at give Dem af den simple årsag, at den portugisiske premierministers standpunkt på de 15 stats- og regeringschefers vegne blev taget på et bilateralt plan og ikke som formand for EU.
Mr Rübig, as President-in-Office, I cannot give you an answer for the simple reason that the statement by the Portuguese Prime Minister on behalf of the fourteen Heads of State and Government of the Member States of the European Union was adopted bilaterally and not by him in his capacity as President-in-Office of the Council of the European Union.
