When the debate about Austria - which has many elements, many complexities - was unfolding we realised that on the edges of Austria there were significant candidate countries which, while they were making progress in economic, progress in social aspects, represented a real problem with regard to their treatment of minorities.
Da debatten om Østrig, som har mange elementer og mange indviklede beskaffenheder, fandt sted, blev vi klar over, at der i Østrigs periferi var betydelige ansøgerlande, der, mens de gør fremskridt inden for de økonomiske og sociale aspekter, udgør et virkeligt problem, hvad angår deres behandling af deres mindretal.
