The concentration of different functions under one single person, what we call the double-hating arrangements, is clearly designed to facilitate the transition from the current relations between the different institutions to the new model that will be further clarified in incoming Helsinki summit. Such a process is not an end itself but a clear step forward in the integration of Europe. From my two responsibilities, I will ensure that this process is done in a totally transparent manner. The transparency, synergy and co-operation with our allies at NATO will be total. The same open attitude will continue to preside in our relations with the Central and Eastern European partner countries, all them present here today.
Tous ces organes sont un acquis important.
Je ne manquerai pas de m'en souvenir.
