de ... de la part de Explanation: I think the first preposition is OK - outre l'adhérence conséquente des pays ... . The 'Eurostat for the EU' I think means 'Eurostat on behalf of the EU' or 'Eurostat representing the voice of the EU' perhaps. The whole sentence meaning that steps to consider are 1) ENP South Partner Countries joining the EMES-WG, 2) Eurostat joining the EMES-WG to represent the EU, and then further consideration to be given to how to involve individual EU member states which may be interested. Would that make sense in the context of the rest of the document? |
