I would have explained this if I had had the time.
Si j'en avais eu connaissance, je vous aurais donné la parole, c'est évident.
If I had known, I would of course have given you the floor.
Si j'en avais eu le temps, j'aurais davantage parlé de ce problème mais le temps visiblement ne me le permet pas.
If time had allowed, I would have expanded on this aspect but time does not apparently allow.
Mon groupe s'était satisfait d'un compromis, se réservant toutefois le droit de revoir sa décision en deuxième lecture. Personnellement, j'en avais eu mal au ventre.
My group agreed to a compromise - although personally it pained me to do so - on condition that it would remain free to decide at second reading.
