Selvom jeg af god grund er tilfreds med den finske regerings gode lederskab og med, at store sagssammenhænge enten kom et langt skridt fremad eller blev helt gennemført, er det klart, at periodens gode resultater kan baseres på hele Unionens vilje til at udvikle den fælles europæiske struktur.
Although I am therefore satisfied with the Finnish Government 's strong grasp of leadership and the fact that either considerable progress was made with the key issues or they were finally resolved, it is clear that the good results of the Presidency stem from the desire by the whole of the Union to develop a common European structure.
