During the last few days and weeks, the negotiations have been – at least in my view – talk about very minor matters, as nearly each one of the finance ministers of the Member States and even their state secretaries handle certainly much larger sums on their own. In so saying, I do not want to criticise the country holding the presidency, which has certainly done everything necessary to achieve harmony.
Les négociations menées ces derniers jours et ces dernières semaines ont consisté, tout au moins à mon sens, en conversations sur de petites choses, car chaque ministre des Finances et même secrétaire d'État des pays membres traite tout seul de bien plus grandes sommes.
