Den holdning blev indtaget af de af os, der deltog af en række grunde og ikke mindst, fordi Rådet ensidigt truede med at bryde den eksisterende interinstitutionelle aftale og udtale, at 1999-budgettet var ulovligt.
That position was taken by those of us who were involved for a number of reasons, not least of which was a threat by the Council unilaterally to break the existing interinstitutional agreement and state that the 1999 budget would have been illegal.
