McCartin og den anerkendelse, han fik af hr. Poettering, formand for PPE-DE-Gruppen, i form af Schuman-medaljen for 25 års tjeneste her i Parlamentet - en pragtfuld hyldest til hans indsats.
In particular I should like to mention Mr McCartin and the acknowledgement that Mr Poettering, Chairman of the PPE-DE Group, gave him on winning the Schuman Medal for 25 years' service to this Parliament: a wonderful testament to his contribution here.
