Det er min holdning - og mine kolleger i Kommissionen deler dette synspunkt - at kun gennem et stærkere fælles pres kan vi fremme udryddelsen af fattigdom og en varig udvikling i disse lande, så man måske - for at bruge hr. Mirandas udtryk - kan skimte lyset for enden af tunnellen.
In fact I believe - and my Commission colleagues share this view - that it is only by exerting stronger collective pressure that we shall be able to speed up the abolition of poverty and the promotion of sustainable development in these countries, so that one of these days perhaps we shall be able, to quote Mr Miranda' s expression, to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
