– (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would first like to reply to Mr Poettering, who was waxing positively lyrical about the Presidency representatives who have travelled from Italy today: Berlusconi, Fini, Frattini, Buttiglione – I was even worried that he was going to move on to Maldini, Del Piero, Garibaldi and Cavour!
- (DE) Monsieur le Président, Mesdames et Messieurs, je m’adresserai tout d’abord à M. Poettering. M. Poettering, cédant presque à l’euphorie, a loué les compétences déléguées par l’Italie sur les bancs du Conseil: Berlusconi, Fini, Frattini, Buttiglione - j’ai craint qu’il n’y ajoute Maldini, Del Piero, Garibaldi et Cavour.
