Særlig stor var begejstringen med hensyn til landbruget, som det lykkedes at få i gang i begyndelsen af 1962, efter at man på historiske »marathonmøder« havde overvundet enorme tekniske og politiske vanskeligheder, herunder dem, der fulgte af forskellene mellem de forholdsvis lave priser på franske og hollandske produkter og de forholdsvis høje priser
There was a particularly strong feeling of triumph in the case of agriculture which, at the beginning of 1962 and following some historic 'marathon' Council meet ings, succeeded in overcoming enormous technical and political difficulties, especially those arising from the gap between the relatively low prices of Dutch and French produce and the relatively high prices in Germany and Italy.
