Translate the following English sentence to French:
"It would have been much better to point out - and I would like to do so on behalf of many PPE-DE colleagues - that, first of all, safety is an essential good over which extreme care is to be taken and for which many efforts are being made with regard to Euro 2000."
Il aurait mieux valu, et je fais cette remarque au nom de bon nombre de mes collègues du PPE, souligner, premièrement, que la sécurité est un aspect fondamental auquel il convient d'accorder la plus grande attention et pour lequel d'importants efforts sont déployés à l'occasion de l'Euro 2000.
