We could have had everything a lot quicker, Mr Commissioner, if the Commission, or part of the Commission, had been somewhat more flexible, for Parliament was of the opinion from the start that adapting the directives to the world trade agreement should only proceed as far as is absolutely necessary.
Nous aurions pu arriver beaucoup plus rapidement à nos fins, Monsieur le Commissaire, si la Commission - ou une partie de la Commission - s'était montrée plus souple, car le Parlement estimait dès le début qu'il convenait que l'adaptation des directives à la Convention sur le commerce mondial se limite au strict nécessaire.
