Traduction de «shortcomings became very » (Anglais → Français) :

If the committee and in turn the deputy became aware of very serious shortcomings that surfaced in an audit, it would of course be our responsibility to advise the minister.
Si le comité et ensuite le sous-ministre apprennent, à l'issue d'une vérification, que des problèmes importants se posent au ministère, il leur incombe de signaler ces problèmes au ministre.

There is no doubt that our initial efforts in Chad were not our finest hour, but it is a case study from which we as the European Union have been able to learn because, quite simply, the shortcomings became very obvious.
Il ne fait aucun doute que nos efforts initiaux au Tchad n’ont pas été notre heure de gloire, mais c’est un cas d’étude duquel nous, en tant qu’Union européenne, avons été en mesure de tirer des enseignements parce que, tout simplement, les défauts étaient devenus flagrants.
