Efter min opfattelse bør disse spørgsmål så afgjort forblive på dagsordenen, for med denne virkeligt utilfredsstillende aftale i dag - den kunne have været meget bedre, end den er, hvis blot Rådet havde villet det - mener jeg ikke, at vi kan foretage virkelige fremskridt for borgerne fra nu af og til 2013.
It seems to me that these subjects must absolutely be kept on the agenda, because today, with this truly unsatisfactory agreement – which could have been a great deal better than it is, if only the Council had wanted it to be – I do not think that we will be able to achieve real progress for our citizens between now and 2013.
