lpv:translated text	"Madam President, dear Nicole, I would also like to thank you on behalf of my Group for the work you have done over the last two and a half years. In particular, I would very much like to say that our Group has been truly proud of you every time you have stood up for human rights in the world. You always immediately took a stance in situations in which people’s lives were under threat. I remember that case in which Ghanaian children died in the hold of an aircraft. They sent a message to Europe which said how difficult the situation in Ghana was. You showed no hesitation in promptly adopting a position on the matter. You also invited Commander Massoud to Parliament last spring, just as if you had foreseen what was coming, and you boldly appeared in public beside him. I am quite sure you also jeopardised your own personal safety on many an occasion in this way, and it is for this kind of courage that I wish to express my sincerest thanks. The European Parliament, which has always been keen to act as the European Union’s moral conscience, has actually managed to acquire a human face during your term of office, and that face has been yours, for which I thank you. You have also bravely reflected the majority view in this Parliament in situations in which that has not been very easy. I remember when we were discussing here Austria’s new government: you put in words what the majority in this Parliament felt, that our hearts were not entirely in it. That cannot have been easy for you either. But now things are changing, there are going to be new faces, and I want to wish you all the very best for the future. Perhaps, as someone in my Group has already called out, you would have been a sparkling presence in the newly set up Convention. You are just the sort of person I would have liked to see leading it. At present I am not sure if I am happy about what has been done, but I wish you well in any case. ( )"@en1
