Nous espérons également que le Conseil, qui nous a parfois surpris par son entêtement excessif au cours de ce processus, commencera à faire montre d’une certaine ouverture, parallèle à l’ouverture qui ressort des propos conciliants et importants tenus par M. Almunia.
We also hope that the Council, which at times during this process has struck us as being too insular, will begin to show some openness, along the lines of the openness that came through from the accommodating and significant words of Mr Almunia.
