Can I first of all emphasise how sorry my colleague, Mr Nielson, was that he could not be here but the honourable Members who are concerned about these development questions will know how important his mission is, trying to ensure that our agreement with South Africa survives.
Innanzi tutto desidero presentare le sentite scuse del mio collega, il Commissario Nielson, ma coloro che si interessano dello sviluppo sanno quanto sia importante la sua missione per cercare di salvare il nostro accordo con il Sudafrica.
