I have defended Mr Jarzembowski on numerous occasions, saying that he is a constant, determined, efficient and intelligent Member of Parliament, but, on this occasion, I must say that his approach as rapporteur has been erratic and, as a result of this constant change in position, we have come to a situation of genuine confrontation in relation to a directive on which Parliament should be united.
J’ai défendu M. Jarzembowski à maintes occasions, louant sa constance, sa détermination, son efficacité et son intelligence, mais, en l’occurrence, je dois dire que son approche de rapporteur a été versatile et source d’une véritable confrontation à propos d’une directive sur laquelle le Parlement devrait être unanime.
