President Sarkozy, our other European colleagues and I had a very important meeting today. As is often the case this meeting went on longer than expected, but the main thing is that we had a frank discussion of all the most complex and relevant issues on the agenda today.

I want to say from the outset that our country values the mediation efforts made by the European Union, the French presidency and my colleague Mr Sarkozy personally. The French President
