Nous ne pouvons en aucun cas dire aux gens que l'énergie peut devenir un bien bon marché : ce serait faire passer un message totalement erroné.
What we must not do, whatever happens, is to say to people that energy could become cheap, as this would be the wrong message altogether.
Ce serait envoyer un message totalement erroné aux pays candidats, comme si nous n'avions pas mentionné la capacité d'absorption de l'Union européenne.
We would be giving completely the wrong message to the candidate countries, in the same way as if we had failed to mention the absorption capacity of the European Union.
Aussi, quoique nous souhaitions une évolution de la situation en Chine, devrions-nous attendre d’observer des progrès concrets. Nous transmettrions un message totalement erroné en levant l’embargo aujourd’hui.
That being so, although we want progress in China, we should wait before it is achieved, and so it would send completely the wrong message if the embargo were to be lifted at the present time.
