Je souhaiterais également, à l’instar de Mme la commissaire précédemment, rappeler à cette Assemblée que le Conseil a adopté un certain nombre d’amendements - et non des moindres - en rapport avec chacun de ces instruments, pas uniquement concernant les actes juridiques soumis à la procédure de codécision, mais également concernant l’instrument de préadhésion, pour lequel une consultation est prévue.
I would also like to do as the Commissioner has just done and remind your House that the Council has adopted a number of amendments – and not the least significant ones – to every single one of these instruments and not
just to those legal acts that are subject to the codecision procedure but also to the pre-accession instrument, which is subject to the consultation procedure. Nor do I wish to gloss over the fact that the package now before you was the cause of a great deal of contention in the Council, and that it took some effort –
...[+++]and a great deal of effort on the part of the President of the Council in COREPER – to get some of the delegations to accept it.
