First of all, thank you very much for joining us at dinner. We’ve listened to very useful presentations and debates throughout the day. As economic and social partners, we have shown that we know how to debate difficult topics and also that we are aware of the benefits of talking to each other. We have a lot to talk to each other about. We have a lot to share and learn from each other. Thanks to this dialogue mechanism, we are able to communicate and understand each other. This has been the case since 1995. "
