"Like Mrs Hautala, I am therefore very happy that the Committee on Petitions has survived the attempts to remove it, since, as well as demanding compliance with Community law, it is the committee which is closest to the citizens."
En conséquence, comme Mme Hautala, je me réjouis que la commission des pétitions ait survécu aux tentatives visant à la faire disparaître, car celle-ci, outre sa mission en matière de respect du droit communautaire, est la commission qui est la plus proche des citoyens.
