Mr President, I would like to thank the Commission and, at the same time, the rapporteur, Mr Graça Moura, for having permitted so many amendments, many of them open to broadening the scope of the Year and extending it to rural areas and the least favoured areas.
Hr. formand, jeg vil takke Kommissionen og samtidig ordføreren, hr. Graça Moura, for at have accepteret så mange ændringsforslag, mange af dem åbne over for, at året udvides, og at det når ud til landdistrikterne og de mest ugunstigt stillede områder.
