Jeg håbede også, at jeg ville få mulighed for at rette en personlig tak til vores formand Gil-Robles for hans konstante støtte til mig i mit arbejde som mægler for børn, der bortføres til udlandet, og ligeledes en tak til hr. Söderman for hans fremragende arbejde som europæisk ombudsmand.
I had also hoped that I would have a chance to personally thank President Gil-Robles because he has been a continual support to me in my work as mediator for abducted children, and also to thank Mr Söderman for his excellent work as European Ombudsman.
