"Mr President-in-Office of the Council, as an Italian Member of the European Parliament from the Movement of European Republicans in the ELDR Group and for Mr Martelli’s Liberal Socialists, I can only hope that these six months will prove an assured success for Europe and for Italy. To solve the difficult tasks that lay ahead of you – from major infrastructure to pensions and illegal immigration – you will not be needing sensationalist television formats but intelligent, creative work of political mediation, in order to honour the commitment you have made before this Parliament. The profile of your actions must therefore be very high and focused on the major international options, most of all the new Constitution for the Twenty-Five, under which every step forward will be welcomed but no step backward will be allowed at all.
Rebuilding a real partnership with the United States must start with a direct relationship with the European Union, with Europe gradually taking on responsibility and leadership in NATO, with a moderate, rather than antagonistic or subservient view of the relations. Therefore, Mr President-in-Office, we believe it is essential to encourage the United Kingdom to join monetary union so as to strengthen Europe at an international level.
The other difficult test lying ahead of you is the solution to the Middle East problem, bearing in mind that the roadmap requires a highly impartial attitude, and therefore European intervention must not be directed to just one side. These are major challenges, Mr President-in-Office, for which, on behalf of myself and also our country, I wish you every success."@en1
