Hr. Pronk har netop henvist til, at denne garantifond i mange år har været et af Europa-Parlamentets mål, for vi kunne ikke være enige i, at medlemsstaterne af Den Europæiske Union udstedte garantier, uden at disse garantier, først og fremmest tab på eventuelle garantier, var sikret i form af en fond.
As Mr Pronk just pointed out, establishing this Guarantee Fund was a long-standing aim of the European Parliament, because we could not agree to the Member States of the European Union giving guarantees unless these guarantees were safeguarded through a fund, especially in the event of defaults.
