I regret that the President-in-Office was this morning struck down by an Austrian malady and was absent from this Chamber. As a result of his indisposition, he was also absent when we voted on two issues of particular interest to the Portuguese presidency, namely the Lisbon summit and the EU-Africa Summit.
Jeg beklager, at det portugisiske formandskab i formiddags fik et østrigsk ildebefindende og forlod salen, hvilket også førte til, at det ikke var til stede under afstemningen om de to beslutningsforslag i sager, der særlig havde dets interesse, nemlig topmødet i Lissabon og topmødet EU/Afrika.
