Seul le prononcé fait foi
Thank you for your kind words, Mr. President. I was glad to accept your invitation and I am still glad I did, even if I now again realise the truth of the dictum that there is no free lunch, in this case no free New Year party. I would not say ‘in cauda venenum’ about the remarks and questions at the end of your very interesting speech, but you do put some challenging remarks and questions to me. And I will try and answer them.
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen,
