In my view, it was the first time that we had ever had a real European government, because it was a government which concerned itself only with European affairs and European issues, and which was not distracted by the affairs of its members' own nations.
În opinia mea, aceasta a fost prima dată când am avut un guvern cu adevărat european, pentru că a fost un guvern care s-a ocupat doar cu afacerile europene şi cu problemele europene şi care nu a fost distras de afacerile propriilor naţiuni ale membrilor săi.
