Mr President, I would also like to start by thanking Mr Javier Solana, the Secretary-General of the Council, for attending this debate and by congratulating him on the document he presented in March and which was the subject of a preliminary debate in Barcelona.
Hr. formand, jeg vil også gerne begynde med at takke Javier Solana, Rådets generalsekretær, for hans tilstedeværelse under denne forhandling og takke ham for den redegørelse, som han afgav i marts, og som allerede blev forhåndsdiskuteret i Barcelona.
