Such a significant project was being dealt with by just two officials for the whole project (one of them is here today – no longer in the Directorate-General Transport – and I would like to congratulate Mr Tytgat on his will, because at the end of the day, we are often able to build Europe thanks to specific people who have the courage to move forward promoting their ideas), a project which was very far from maturity.
Un projet de cette envergure ne disposait que de deux fonctionnaires (l’un d’entre eux est ici aujourd’hui - mais plus à la direction générale "Transports" - et je voudrais féliciter M. Tytgat pour sa volonté, car en fin de compte, nous construisons souvent l’Europe grâce à des personnes concrètes, de valeur, qui ont le courage de continuer à faire avancer leurs idées).
