lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we now have high hopes of implementing a policy of openness and of carrying through reforms in the interests of efficiency. Mr Prodi, your agreement with Mr Poettering points to a new era, the possibility of an entirely new Commission culture aimed at winning back citizens’ confidence and interest in our European Union. It has been a dizzying but, in my view, absolutely necessary process for the Union. Let me go back to December 1998 when we in the Group of the European People’s Party, together with Liberals and the Greens, fought for openness and the need for accountability in the debate for adoption of the budget. Then, the Socialists opted for party considerations, evasion and cowardliness in the face of the Council. Without the willingness of ourselves in the right-of-centre parties to exercise supervisory power, to take responsibility for this and, in a spirit of openness before all else, to demand to have all the papers in full view on the table, we would have come as far as we have in fact today. Mr Prodi, Commissioners-designate, when it comes to enlargement of the Union, foreign and security policy, strengthening free trade in the world, opening up markets, maintaining a vigorous policy on the environment and continuing to pursue economic liberalisation in Europe and with a common currency that is more competitive, Europe is going to need, for all these things, a very strong and functioning Commission in which you, Professor Prodi, will have our confidence and approval of your legislative arrangements. When you obtain these things, you also acquire, however, a responsibility to make sure that each and every one of the Commissioners can live up to the ideals, share the focus and conviction and meet the requirements of justice and propriety that we all demand now. I wish you luck. You will be receiving the Moderate delegation’s “yes” vote tomorrow."@en1
