lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Mr President-elect of the Commission. I have asked to speak in order to welcome loudly and clearly the course of events in recent weeks and to express my satisfaction at the way in which the nomination of the Commission has been handled, both by you and by us. Mr President-elect, the fact that you decided to delay the vote on the Commission, that you listened to the mood of Parliament and that you made welcome changes to the composition of the Commission, means that you showed respect for Parliament and contributed both to its reputation and its strength. Now is the time for Parliament to make an equally sensible move by supporting your Commission and contributing to its reputation and strength. In my opinion, what is needed is the reciprocal strengthening of the roles of the main European institutions, which would lead, one would hope, to greater trust in both the European ideal and the European Union on the part of our fellow European citizens. Mr President-elect of the Commission, Europe deserves a strong Parliament. Europe deserves a strong Commission. The tasks which await us in this mandate demand vision, boldness and, as you have correctly pointed out, a robust institutional partnership. In any event, Europe needs strong political leadership. At the very least there are two tasks which are essential. The success of the Lisbon Strategy and the successful ratification of the European Constitutional Treaty. In the case of the first task, Mr President-elect, you have said many words, but in the case of the second far too few. Let me now finish by calling on you to ensure that the European Constitutional Treaty is successfully ratified as part of your personal and collective political responsibility. I wish you every success in this task."@en1
