– (DE) Monsieur le Président, je me réjouis que la Commission européenne n’ait pas existé au XVe siècle car si elle avait existé, Christophe Colomb et ses compagnons auraient probablement navigué dans un conteneur, qui aurait rapidement coulé, et ils n’auraient jamais atteint le continent américain.
– (DE) Mr President, I am glad that the European Commission did not exist in the 15th century. If it had existed, Christopher Columbus and his companions would probably have sailed in the next container, which would promptly have sunk, and they would never have reached the continent of America.
