Translate the following English sentence to French:
"Having said this, I also wish to say that we, the Portuguese Presidency of the Union, were greatly concerned to do something, which has never been easy, as you will all be aware, to ensure that Austria participated fully in all of the Union' s work. In addition to this, we were concerned to ensure that Austria' s representatives were treated with the proper respect, including the FPÖ Government representatives to all Council bodies."
Ceci dit, je tiens également à dire que la présidence portugaise de l'Union s'est vivement souciée - et cela n'a pas toujours été facile - de garantir la pleine participation de l'Autriche aux travaux de l'Union et, en outre, de garantir la dignité des représentants de l'Autriche, y compris des membres du gouvernement issus du FPÖ, dans tous les organes du Conseil.
