Helt grundlæggende og politisk må vi huske på, at Rådet og Kommissionen har spillet deres fortsat alt for stærke magtposition ud mod Parlamentet, som nu er tvunget til at stemme for af frygt for, at skaden bliver endnu større.
What has to be borne in mind here, both as a matter of principle and of policy, is that the Council and the Commission have played from what is still a position of excessive strength vis-à-vis Parliament, which has now been forced to give its agreement for fear of even greater damage being done.
