E. VENIZELOS: Thank you. I am here just to welcome publicly Cathy Ashton
and my counterparts from the other European countries, hosting the
Gymnich Council, this Informal Meeting of Ministers for Foreign Affairs.
It is a great pleasure and a great opportunity for every European
Presidency, because of the high level of debates, and I think that will
be quite clear from what Cathy Ashton has to say by way of introduction
and from our discussion with you.
C. ASHTON: Can I begin by thanking you very much, Deputy Prime Minister and your team, for the excellent organization of this Meeting and this wonderful venue.
