Når det gælder det kommercielle aspekt, minder jeg om, at det var Kommissionen, der tog initiativ til en ny runde af multilaterale forhandlinger (betegnet Millenium Round), og sikrede, at disse også kommer til at omfatte finansielle tjenesteydelser.
On a commercial level, I would remind you that the Commission was the first to call for the launch of a new series of multilateral negotiations - the'Millennium Round '- and to ensure that these negotiations would be applied to financial services.
