Monsieur le Président, j ’ ai enfin l ’ impression qu ’ il se passe quelque chose. Il a fallu plus de huit, ou plutôt, presque neuf années pour boucler le nouveau Traité et autant de mois pour former la nouvelle Commission.
Mr President, I finally have the feeling that things are starting to happen. It took more than eight and, indeed, almost nine years for us to get the new treaty and the same number of months for us to get the new Commission.
