lpv:translated text	"Mr Prodi, on behalf of the Dutch Socialists I would like to express the hope that we will be in a position to draw a line under the crisis, with the appointment of your Commission in its entirety tomorrow. You have our support, provided of course that the Commission fulfils all those conditions that you yourself have imposed. You gave a speech this morning and we have heard a lot in the course of the hearings. What is still very much conspicuous by its absence as far as we are concerned, is that element of social concern. First and foremost, that element of social concern towards the rest of the world. 125 million children will not be going to school today, which means they have no future in this world. Our world is not millennium-proof. I am so keen to see January’s programme become one of ambitious endeavours on the part of Patten, Lamy, Nielson and your Commission to make Europe really socially-minded towards other countries in this respect, and then towards its own. The solidarity, free market and need for reform we have spoken of, will only work if we keep everyone on the same track. Too many people are excluded at the present time, in our own European world too. Internal solidarity and solidarity towards others, as I said, that is what we would like to judge you and your programme on in January. For our part, we are looking at all the Commissioners and we hope to be able to make a confidence-inspiring new start in Europe, in the way described so effectively by Mr Van Velzen when he set out how the programme could achieve this. We would like to hold each of you responsible on an individual basis and achieve sound results working together as Parliament and Commission."@en1
