Spanish term

no puedo por menos de

Spanish to English Art/Literary Linguistics Ponencia
Al referirme a los resultados del proceso de reflexión “Bases para la política lingüística de principios del siglo XXI”, no puedo por menos de expresar mi gratitud tanto por las aportaciones como por la amplia participación tanto de los miembros de la comisión como de la ciudadanía. Quiero expresar idéntica gratitud a los periodistas y medios de comunicación que han difundido y dado proyección al debate, puesto que
su colaboración ha sido imprescindible a la hora de socializar dicho debate.

I have nothing but (thanks...) / my most grateful thanks to

Another couple of options.

The expression is really a turn of phrase to indicate how grateful the speaker is.
