Vi beklager især, at Gruppen for Det Europæiske Folkeparti og Den Socialdemokratiske Gruppe har stemt imod vores forslag om at anerkende og associere regioner med fuld lovgivningskompetence fuldstændigt i EU 's institutioner, og også at forslaget om, at ombudsmændene for parlamenterne i disse regioner med lovgivningskompetence associeres med Den Europæiske Ombudsmands opgaver, er blevet forkastet.
We regret in particular that the Group of the European Peoples' Party and the Group of the Party of European Socialists have voted against our proposals to recognise and associate the regions with full legislative powers with the institutions of the Union, and also that the idea that the Ombudsmen of the parliaments of these regions with full legislative powers should be associated with the work of the European Ombudsman has been rejected.
