...[+++]of Presidents and the administration.– (IT) Monsieur le Président, Mesdames et Messieurs, le groupes des Verts/Alliance libre européenne n’a jamais consacré beaucoup de temps aux grandes réformes parlementaires menées par M. Corbett, qui est un ami et avec lequel nous travaillons depuis plusieurs années.
