– Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, if I were asked for the two main reasons why I consider the convergence in the positions of the Council Presidency, the Commission and Parliament that we see today to be important, I would reply that my first reason is that the social and environmental aspects of development are being sincerely acknowledged not as constraints and obstacles but as factors in our competitiveness.
Jeg er helt enig i dette punkt, og jeg håber, at det bliver omsat til konkrete foranstaltninger på Det Europæiske Råd.
