. - Pour être honnête, Monsieur Van Orden, j’ignore si la Commission européenne, en tant qu’institution, a un avis à ce sujet.
C. To be honest, Mr Van Orden, I have no idea whether the European Commission as an institution has a view on this.
J’ignore si la Commission possède des informations qui n’ont pas encore été rendues publiques et qui permettent à M. Barroso d’affirmer qu’il s’agit d’un malheureux incident et pas de quelque chose de plus grave.
I do not know whether the Commission has any information that has not yet been made public which enables him to state that it was an unfortunate incident and not something more serious.
J'ignore si la Commission adoptera une position centraliste dans son initiative finale, mais si nous souhaitons une telle évolution, il faudra combiner les rapports de M. Killilea, la proposition de la Commission et la récente position du Conseil.
I am not clear about what the centralist Commission is about to produce as its final proposal. But if we want to see development here, it must be a combination of what Mr Killilea is proposing, what the Commission is putting forward and what the Council finally comes up with in its own right.
