lpv:translated text	"Mr President-elect of the Commission, in recent weeks we have been able to see the way in which you deal with this Parliament. Such a method denotes a marked feeling for the European institutions. That is why we are convinced that you will lead the Commission in the next five years in a way that is new and different from that of the recent past, carrying out a sort of Copernican revolution. We are sure that we shall have a President who is not allied to this or that political camp. Europe needs women and men who can play the role of supreme representatives of all the institutions, including the European Parliament and the Parliamentary committees, in this way -– I refer to my colleague Mr Bourlanges, who is absent from the chamber. In short, we need to have a growing enhancement of the institutions. That is why we should have liked other governments, beginning with the Socialist Government of Hungary, to have shown the same institutional sensibility in these weeks as the Italian Government. ( ) Only a Commission not concerned with influencing national politics can have the prestige and authority to allow Europe to have a balanced system of institutions in the ambit of which this Parliament can finally take full possession of legislative power. A Commission with such a profile must be dedicated to securing swift approval of the Constitutional Treaty. The birth of the first basic law of the European Union represents a great result for us all, even though I, together with the members of the Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, harbour a regret that an explicit reference to our Christian origins is missing. However, together we all have the duty to imbue this great work of constitutional engineering with political will. In short, Europe needs to be given a heart and soul, otherwise we risk only having a Europe with a currency and a bureaucracy. That is why this Parliament has declared itself in favour of a seat for the European Union in the renewed UN Security Council. The goal is to have a Europe that counts for more and more on the international chessboard, a Europe that is the bringer of peace, as it has been within its own frontiers for the last fifty years. We are sure that you will opt for Parliament’s positions, as a man not of a party but of the Institution. Because you will be a man of the Institution, at the exclusive service of our citizens, you will have the confidence of the Italian delegation of the European People’s Party."@en1
