"I simply wondered why you used ‘for example’ with regard to your reference about the charming nature of the French, as I thought charm was a general characteristic; at least I hoped it was.
As regards the issue in question, I simply wanted to say that there was no discrimination being made against any particular country. If, for example, and here I am talking as a Minister, France was to elect an extreme right-wing party to office tomorrow, I would hope that the other countries would take measures against it similar to those taken against Austria. This demonstrates therefore that one country is not being singled out for discrimination over another. The European Union has certain values, which make it difficult for it to accept some countries taking on particular responsibilities. That is the political position.
Having said that, I should like to make it clear, Mrs Flemming, that, in general, I like Austria and Austrian people."@en1
