Det er berettiget, at der lægges vægt på, hvad vi kalder velfærdsstaterne, og jeg vil gerne understrege, at vi er stærke tilhængere af den fremgangsmåde, som EU for nylig valgte i spørgsmålet om Iran, nemlig at få landet til ved hjælp af økonomisk, politisk og diplomatisk pres at respektere aftalerne og Den Internationale Atomenergiorganisations kontroller.
It is right that attention should be paid to what we refer to as the welfare states, and I should like to stress in this respect that we are very much in favour of the approach which the EU recently adopted in terms of Iran, namely to persuade the country to adhere to the agreements and inspections of the Atomic Agency by means of economic, political and diplomatic pressure.
