Nous souhaitons féliciter M. Mário Soares pour son excellent travail. Nous espérons que la Commission saura rattraper le temps perdu, intensifier et mieux organiser la coopération avec Macao, répondre plus activement aux défis qui se posent à nous, relire et respecter sa propre communication de 1999.
I wish to congratulate Mr Soares on his excellent report and I hope that the Commission will now be able to make up for lost time and step up and better organise cooperation with Macau. I hope that it will address the challenges facing us more actively and that it will duly reread and comply with its own communication of 1999 in time.
