"Mr President, Mr President of the Commission, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, to start with, I could not reply to you in a language other than that which we spoke when we were at school together fifty years ago. First of all, I want to thank you and warmly congratulate you for the particularly successful presidency which the Greek Government has brought to a close. As you have heard from the honourable Members' interventions – and the interventions which do not come from the same political family are more valuable – there is generally a feeling that the Greek Presidency was a great success. Nonetheless, I do not want to refer to the issues already raised, but to another issue: during the Greek Presidency, what you euphemistically refer to as the 'Iraqi crisis' took place. I think that the Greek Presidency took the best possible reaction to the division which the European Union underwent in relation to this issue in convening the Extraordinary European Council in Brussels on 17 February 2003 and with the outcome of that Council. The Greek Presidency is not to blame for the fact that some of the participants did not honour their own signatures before the week was out. I shall continue in German, the language of the country which I represent here in the European Parliament, knowing also that you will not therefore need to wear headphones."@en1
