Hr. formand, kære kolleger, jeg vil starte med på vegne af vores gruppe at takke fru d 'Ancona for hendes betænkning, som har været vanskelig, fordi den behandler et af de mest komplicerede politiske emner inden for Den Europæiske Union.
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I shall start by thanking Mrs d'Ancona, on behalf of our group, for her report, which was a difficult one, because it deals with one of the most complicated policy issues facing the European Union.
