"Mr President, yesterday evening – the evening of Valentine's Day – some friends and I were looking for a restaurant, but we could not find a free table anywhere. Doubtless, they were all occupied by lovers celebrating Valentine's Day. I still had to prepare my explanation of vote on the Plooij-van Gorsel report. I closed my eyes for a second and saw a vision: I saw the Commissioner for Research, Mr Busquin, and the rapporteur, Mrs Plooij-van Gorsel, having dinner together and talking animatedly about research in Europe. It being Valentine's Day, I said to myself: "I wonder whether European research will even make it possible to find one's soul mate, which is what is generally hoped for on Saint Valentine's Day". Therefore, with this in mind, I voted for the report."@en1
