Jeg skal forskåne Dem for et nostalgisk tilbageblik på de for­løbne seks år og kun understrege, at Bankens allerede vigtige rolle som Fællesskabets finansieringsin­stitution er blevet væsentlig styrket i denne periode, og at jeg føler mig beæret over at have bidraget dertil.
I do not propose today to indulge in a nostalgic review of the past six years except to say that the already important role of the Bank, as the Community's fi­nancing institution, has developed substantially during that time and I feel privileged to have been able to play a part in it.
