The Danish Prime Minister spent five days in Washington, and the press – the Danish world press, with which my fellow MEPs are probably unfamiliar – described how, during the concluding session, as the Prime Minister paid tribute to President Bush for his honourable conduct, the strains of Mendelsohn’s Wedding March from the famous play were suddenly heard.
Le premier ministre danois a passé cinq jours à Washington et la presse a signalé - la presse mondiale danoise, que tous mes collègues ne connaissent pas - que, lors de la séance de clôture, alors que le premier ministre acclamait le président Bush pour sa loyauté, a subitement retenti l’air célèbre de la Marche nuptiale de Mendelssohn-Bartholdi.
