Jeg glæder mig over, at Parlamentet anmoder om, at alle skal stilles lige ved forhandlingernes begyndelse, uden at resultaterne heraf forudgribes, og at datoen for forhandlingernes afslutning skal afgøres af objektive EU-kriterier.
I congratulate myself on the fact that Parliament demands that everyone should start off equal, regardless of the results, and the completion date for the negotiations should be decided according to objective Community criteria.
