I fear that in behaving as he has done today, the President-in-Office of the Council, who spoke out against exclusion earlier on, is guilty of that very thing I therefore refuse to give my opinion on the programme of the French Council Presidency, owing to a suspected lack of interest, and I regret that such a signal has been sent out at the beginning of the Council Presidency.
Jeg frygter, at formanden for Rådet, som i dag har talt imod udstødelse, med sin opførsel netop har begået denne udstødelse. Jeg giver derfor afkald på min udtalelse om det franske formandskabs program, da der åbenbart ikke er interesse for den, og jeg beklager, at der sendes et sådant signal ved begyndelsen af formandskabet.
