Rådet har foreslået en ineffektiv procedure, og derfor anmoder jeg Dem om at forstå, at vi accepterer hjemstedet Thessaloniki som operationel del, som en del af genopbygningsagenturet for hele Sydøsteuropa med hjemsted i Thessaloniki, men den skal være tæt knyttet til stabilitetspagtens hjemsted i Thessaloniki.
The Council has proposed an inefficient procedure, and I would therefore ask it to be understood that we accept the headquarters in Thessaloniki as an operational component of the Reconstruction Agency for the whole of South-East Europe with its headquarters in Thessaloniki, but which must be closely linked with the headquarters of the Stability Pact in Thessaloniki.
