Over the past five years, I have been able, as spokesman of my group, to work closely with her, and I can say that I have the greatest respect for her and for the work she has done, for hers is not an easy portfolio, and she has not always had the steady support of those around her; on the contrary, she has often had to make a very great effort, and that is why we respect her so highly.
Au cours des cinq dernières années, en tant que porte-parole de mon groupe, j’ai eu l’honneur de travailler en étroite collaboration avec vous, Madame, et j’ai le plus grand respect pour le travail que vous avez effectué.
