The declarations issued by those meetings resemble nothing so much as closing the stable door after the horse has bolted, and I was sorry to hear Mr Barroso say that it was only the crisis that has changed their thinking.
As declarações emitidas por essas reuniões só fazem lembrar quando se fecha a porta do estábulo depois de o cavalo ter fugido, e lamentei ouvir o Senhor Presidente Barroso, da Comissão, dizer que só com a crise mudaram a sua maneira de pensar.
