PROBLEM: Efter den första behandlingen i Europaparlamentet 1999 hamnade kommissionens förslag i en besvärlig politisk situation i rådet.

SOLUTION: After the first reading in the European Parliament in 1999, the Commission' s proposal ended up in an awkward political situation in the Council.

PROBLEM: Med enbart en liten minireform, som rådet har bestämt sig för, kommer det inte att lyckas, och därför bör alla institutioner prövas.

SOLUTION: We will not achieve this just by undertaking a mini reform, as the Council has resolved to do, and that is why all institutions must come under scrutiny.

PROBLEM: Jag skulle vilja börja med att tacka mina kolleger för deras medverkan till detta betänkande. Det skulle inte ha varit vad det är i dag utan denna samarbetsanda.

SOLUTION:
I would like to start by thanking my colleagues for their cooperation on this report, it would not be what it is today without that spirit of cooperation.
