Il est inquiétant que nous ayons pu en arriver là.
It is very worrying that we should find ourselves in such a situation.
On m'a souvent demandé comment on avait pu en arriver là.
I have often been asked how it can have come to this.
Pour ce faire, nous devons tout d'abord comprendre comment nous avons pu en arriver là.
To do this, we first have to understand how we arrived at this point.
Je ne comprends pas comment nous avons pu en arriver là, parce que nous avons travaillé très dur au sein de la commission de l'environnement. Vous avez travaillé d'arrache-pied pour mettre en place des systèmes de traçabilité.
I do not understand how that happened, because we have really worked so hard on the Committee on the Environment; you have worked so hard to achieve traceability, and yet when the chips were down, those systems were not used.
