Madam President, President-in-Office of the Council, President of the Commission, Prime Minister, during your presidency we will be travelling down a long and winding road, which began with Nice and will end with Laeken.
Fru formand, hr. formand for Rådet og hr. formand for Kommissionen, hr. premierminister, under Deres formandskab skal vi gå en lang og kompliceret vej, som begyndte i Nice, og som ender i Laeken.
