Mr President, Commissioner, can I first of all say I very much welcome this opportunity to follow the debate on this issue, but quite frankly I think it has tried our patience for a long time and most of us would like to see it resolved as soon as possible.
Hr. formand, hr. kommissær, må jeg først og fremmest sige, at jeg glæder mig meget over denne mulighed for at følge debatten om dette spørgsmål, men jeg synes helt ærligt, at den har prøvet vores tålmodighed i lang tid, og de fleste af os vil gerne se en ende på sagen så hurtigt som muligt.
