I would like to say that, as a newcomer to this role, I had expected sharp altercations, particularly since the report has a certain military aspect to it, but as it turned out, the work progressed very peacefully.
Gostaria de dizer que, na qualidade de recém-chegado a este papel, estava à espera de duras trocas de palavras, sobretudo tendo em conta o carácter algo militar do relatório, mas afinal o trabalho acabou por evoluir de forma bastante pacífica.
