He also welcomed Parliament's comments and criticisms. The C
ommission might not have been sufficiently "aggressive" as some people claimed, but its approach was clear enough: the Single Act, the wh
ole Single Act, and nothing but
the Single Act! The Member States had said 'yes' to enlargement; they had signed the Single Act; the next step was to implement their decisions in full. Mr Delors admitted that the Single Act fell short of the Commission's or
...[+++]iginal expectations and he knew that Parliament felt the same way. But the decisions taken had to be put into effect. The Commission did not underestimate the difficulties: the Single Act was the Europe of the possible.
Si les Etats membres ont dit "oui" à l'élargissement et s'ils ont signé l'Acte Unique, il faut qu'ils appliquent mainenant entièrement ce qu'ils ont décidé. Il est vrai que l'Acte Unique ne comble pas tous nos espoirs originaux et nous savons qu'il en est de même pour vous, a-t-il dit, mais ce qui a été décidé doit être mis en vigueur. Nous ne sous- estimons pas les difficultés; l'Acte Unique est l'Europe du possible.
