Taking into consideration the delicate position in which the dossier now finds itself, I am of the opinion that the outcome of a conciliation procedure, assuming that the debate were extended, would have been quite uncertain.
Si l’on considère le fragile équilibre qui caractérise le dossier, je pense que l’issue d'une procédure de conciliation - en supposant que ce débat soit prolongé - serait plutôt incertaine.
