Fru formand, kære kolleger, hr. kommissær, De vil sikkert huske, at EuropaParlamentet ikke brød ud i jubel over de beskedne resultater fra Essen, men vi har stillet os mere positive over for opfølgningsproceduren.
Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, you will remember that the European Parliament was not wildly enthusiastic about the modest Essen results but we made up for this when it came to the follow-up procedure.
