lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I too would very much like, on behalf of my Group, to thank you for the very great work you have put in on behalf of the European Parliament over the last two and half years, which have coincided with major political developments, particularly since September last. I totally agree with all the very many well-deserved, fine compliments which have been paid to you by the leaders of the other Groups here today. The Presidency of the European Parliament has to reflect the views of all its Members and I am more than satisfied that you, Mrs Fontaine, have worked exceptionally hard during your term of office to ensure that all our views were represented on the many occasions on which you had to fulfil this responsibility. I would like to wish you well for the future. You have represented us all with very great dignity and at all times showed great respect for all the Members of this Parliament. You have spoken out clearly on our behalf when clear statements were needed on the fight against terrorism and the protection of human rights. This is an area of major importance for this Parliament and an area in which we are gaining international respect. It was a pleasure and a privilege having you as our President for the last two and half years and for me personally, as someone who supported you unequivocally on the important day at the beginning of your term of Presidency, I am very happy to say that you have succeeded beyond all my hopes and expectations.
