Translate the following English sentence to French:
"It was, of course, a mistake, which has caused problems for the Commission and for all of us as the European Union, in the face of the legitimate hopes of the peoples of Eastern Europe who, after 50 years of Communist dictatorship, which we did nothing to combat, now, I believe, have the right to be part of the European Union."
D'accord, cela a été un faux pas, une erreur qui a mis la Commission et toute l'Union européenne en difficulté face aux aspirations légitimes des peuples d'Europe orientale qui, après cinquante ans de dictature communiste, ont désormais le droit, avec notre complicité je crois, de faire partie de notre Union.
