En résumé, le nouvel accord-cadre soumis à l'approbation du Parlement européen, consolide les acquis du texte de 2000 et y ajoute un certain nombre d'avancées, que nous venons d'énumérer, qui s'inscrivent dans le renforcement de la relation politique entre les deux institutions et, pour reprendre les mots du Président Barroso, expriment la "complicité positive" qui les unit.
To sum up, the new Framework Agreement submitted to Parliament for approval consolidates the achievements of the 2000 text and adds a number of provisions, listed above, which represent steps forward, which are consistent with the process of strengthening political relations between the two institutions and which, to echo President Barroso’s words, give expression to the ‘positive complicity’ which unites them.
