While I am on this subject, let me remind the Commission that it is this House, rather than the Council, that is constantly defending the Commission’s line, and it would have a salutary effect if the Commission were sometimes to be aware of that rather than constantly bowing down and taking dictation from the Council.
À ce propos, permettez-moi de rappeler à la Commission que c’est cette Assemblée, et non le Conseil, qui défend constamment la position de la Commission, et il serait salutaire que la Commission en prenne conscience de temps à autre, plutôt que de se plier sans cesse aux ordres du Conseil et de s’écraser devant lui.
