lpv:translated text	"Mr President-designate, you know that you have the confidence of many in this House, as a result of your conduct, and also I believe, as a result of your human and personal qualities. These factors ensure that you will gain the confidence of this House, and because of you, many of us will be voting for your whole team. You will be responsible for the common interests of Europe. This is the mission that the Commission has. I think that the common interests of Europe today will require you to face up to two main challenges over the next five years. The first challenge is the European people’s complete lack of understanding of the European Institutions. What we have here are institutions for beginners, which people do not understand, which they are not informed about, and as these institutions are a mystery to them, they are suspicious about them, sometimes excessively so. It is your duty, as defender of the common interests of Europe, and it is our duty as the people’s representatives, to give this action clarity, and this is why we are defending, as you know, the idea of a constitution, of working towards a European constitution. The second challenge, which is even more important, is to find out if there is a social action programme for Europe. Europe was made for just such a programme, and in these times of globalisation, when our citizens have the impression, the feeling that all the real decisions are made somewhere else, and particularly in the world of finance, it is important to revive the idea of a plan for Europe which is understood by the citizens and defended by the institutions. The task of formulating a plan for Europe falls to you as President of the Commission, just as it falls to us as representatives of the people. As you well know, and I shall end now, it is through dialogue, between the European Parliament and the European Commission then, that we will find the key to Europe’s future."@en1
