"While this crisis management may have been conducted mainly by trial and error, France's readiness to consider and take on board new ideas and to project them onto the EU as a whole and the rest of the world, was remarkable," the European Policy Centre, a Brussels-based think tank said in its assessment of the French EU presidency.
"I dok se kriza rešavala tako što se pokušavalo, a zatim učilo na greškama, spremnost Francuske da razmatra i prihvata nove ideje i projektuje ih na EU kao celinu, kao i na ostatak sveta, bila je izuzetna", saopštio je Evropski centar za politiku iz Brisela u svojoj proceni francuskog predsedavanja EU.
