"Mr President, thank you very much for your address which, as you see, has had a great impact on the people assembled in this Chamber.
On 24 September, you may remember, I telephoned you to congratulate you and to assure you of my support. I feel bound to say that, while I listened to you, I was struck by your mastery of what must have been a difficult situation and also by your determination. If you will allow me, I will use the expression ‘your calm strength’.
It seems to me that we have rediscovered that calm strength which, I hope, will guide you along the path of our new relations.
You have said on a number of occasions that the European Union is a model. Mr President, we hope that it will remain so and we in the European Union are now working assiduously to ensure that, especially in the run-up to the extremely important European Summit, which will take place in Nice.
You talked about the evolution of the democratic process and we listened attentively to everything you said in this regard. And then, with great frankness, you touched on the major challenges that await you, almost all of those I mentioned earlier.
To help you face these challenges, you called on the help of Europe and its institutions and, more specifically, on the help of the European Parliament. Mr President, I believe it is safe to assure you that this help and cooperation is supported by virtually the whole of this House. We have a long way to go together.
We urge you to take heart, and let me tell you, “We are with you”."@en1
