"Mr President, Commissioner, there are times when we can feel particularly happy to belong to a particular institution and this is one of those times. The three institutions have worked well, in a way that the European citizens would want legitimately constituted institutions to work. They have done so both effectively and speedily, thanks to Commissioner Busquin and the Belgian Presidency, who, with difficulty, were finally able to reach an agreement on the financial package, which, as you will all remember, five years ago was the bone of contention that caused delay in the adoption of the Fifth Framework Programme. This will not happen again. Thanks also to the Spanish Presidency, which has been particularly sensitive to Parliament’s needs, and thanks, above all, to all the rapporteurs, Mr Caudron and the shadow rapporteurs, who have worked professionally and in Europe’s interests. This is, therefore, one of those times when one can feel truly happy and content at being a representative of this institution. The work is not finished. There undoubtedly remains a whole range of unknown factors – ethics, for example. We have total respect for all of those who feel differently to us. However, I would like to suggest that you will see for yourselves how, through the Council proposal for a common position and the Commission statement with regard to specific programmes, your concerns are being taken into consideration. Above all, we shall ensure that this issue allows for the adoption of a framework programme in which the European Scientific Community has placed its hopes."@en1
