Traduction de «venu lorsque nous » (Français → Anglais) :

I don't know the details of the British positions on our future partnership. I certainly don't want to jump to conclusions. But I know that you will be vigilant - as I will - to ensure that any trade agreement with the United Kingdom will guarantee fair competition and the protections we regard as essential. In fact it is vital if we want to maintain the unity of the 27 and, when the time comes, when we conclude a free trade agreement, a free and fair agreement, successfully submit the treaty underpinning our future relationship for ratification by the European Parliament and the parliaments of the 27 Member States.

That is why at this point we simply call on the committee to recommend to the government in your report that this be acted upon when the time comes and when the models have been developed, and to call on the government to act on this even if they cannot do so within the time frame of the Bank Act review and the review of legislation dealing with trust companies and insurance companies which ends at the end of March, 1997.

There seems to be a contradiction here which, in the longer term when we come to enlargement, when we come to a new intergovernmental conference, we are quite clearly going to have to resolve in the context of our budget procedures.

Senator Graham: I hope that the time will be right when we have an agreement with all of the provinces, and full implementation at least with regards to the process.

Admittedly, we have already exchanged views on this matter on two occasions, firstly on 3 October, following an oral question from the Chairman of your Committee on Constitutional Affairs, Giorgio Napolitano, and then on 24 October, when I came to Parliament to present the results of the informal European Council in Biarritz on 13 and 14 October, where, indeed, the Charter was one of the major items on the agenda.

I would like, Abu Ala, to tell you what I told you when you came as my guest to the Knesset, when I met you at my home – I hope that I shall not do you any political damage back home by mentioning these things – and in all other places where we have met, namely that the Middle East of our generation is privileged to have a great man like you leading your people.

Mrs. Karen Redman: There is another issue, which came to mind when we were talking to the foreign bankers.
