En conclusion, je tiens à dire, Monsieur le Commissaire, que j'apprécie vos efforts de négociations, car le Parlement européen souhaite être écouté et, pour l'instant, le Conseil n'a pas semblé sensible à nos arguments de fond.
Finally, I should like to say, Commissioner, that I appreciate the work that you have put into these negotiations, because the European Parliament wants its voice to be heard, and at the moment the Council does not seem to be listening to our basic arguments.
