lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-designate of the Commission, you have spoken, Mr Prodi, of the future of the Union as a union of sentiments, as a preservation of diversities. You have spoken of a new order as a co-operation between cultures. You have even spoken of religions. I believe that, so that it may be politically effective, this desire demands the recognition of the plural reality of Europe and plural reality of many States. The United Kingdom, Belgium, Spain, Italy and many States which will join the Union in the future are plural realities. For their political recognition to be effective we have to promote it and we believe that the appropriate body for this purpose is the Committee on the Regions, the institution which will lead this process within the European Union. Tomorrow, a group of MEPs will begin work on the creation of an Intergroup to work in this area, with the intention of creating a spirit of co-operation with the Commission and the institutions of the Union so that collective rights and their recognition should become an extension of the recognition of individual rights. This process of recognition will be based on dialogue, negotiation and political agreement, so that the supreme values of co-existence and peace should be paramount. If this new culture is recognised as having value, it will be to the good of the European Union. There is no doubt that if over the past decade, our position on the former Yugoslavia had shown more sensitivity to the different realities of peoples, instead of becoming obsessed with the idea of the State, things would have been different and, no doubt, less disastrous. I appreciate your active sensitivity with regard to East Timor and also with regard to the Mediterranean area. You can count on my vote, Mr Prodi, as our spokesman, Mr Cox has announced, with full conviction."@en1
