Fru formand, ærede medlemmer, eftersom min kollega Anita Gradin sidste tirsdag klart og udtømmende gav udtryk for Kommissionens holdning, tillader jeg mig, fru formand, ikke at gentage min kollegas ord samtidig med, at jeg dog ikke vil undlade at give udtryk for min personlige beklagelse over det, der er hændt.
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, in view of the fact that my colleague Mrs Gradin gave the House a clear and lengthy account of the Commission's position last Tuesday, I will refrain, if I may, Madam President, from repeating my colleague's words and merely express my personal sadness at what occurred.
