translate English to French: I would thank our two co-rapporteurs, Mr Corbett and Mr Méndez de Vigo, for having supported this amendment, as it is the medium through which our House indicates that, while remaining forever the driving force of European development, it is attentive to the social and democratic advances awaited by our fellow citizens. If the document were to be set in stone, there would be a danger of the same thing happening to the Constitution too.
Je remercie nos deux corapporteurs, Richard Corbett et Iñigo Méndez de Vigo, d’avoir apporté leur soutien à cet amendement, car à travers lui notre Assemblée indique qu’elle est à l’écoute des avancées sociales et démocratiques qu’attendent nos concitoyens, tout en restant encore et toujours l’élément moteur de l’évolution européenne.
