I believe that I can say with conviction and also with satisfaction that 1999 was both a turning point and a year of consolidation by the Union on issues of freedom, security and justice.
Jeg mener med overbevisning, men også med tilfredshed, at kunne hævde, at 1999 var et år, der betød en vending og en konsolidering af EU, hvad angår frihed, sikkerhed og retfærdighed.
