lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Mr Barroso, three weeks ago the Commission of which you are President was a good one. Your guidelines were positive and your stance was firm and clear. The aims you put forward were both beneficial to Europe as a whole and fair to the cohesion countries. It remains a good Commission today for precisely the same reasons. The majority of its Members were and still are worthy of our approval, because it has avoided any split between super-Commissioners and second-class Commissioners, because it is closely aligned with our ideological values, and because, overall, it is closer to the opinions of the majority of Europe’s citizens. Madam President, Mr President-designate, the Europe I believe in is a Europe of freedom, diversity, security, prosperity and solidarity. Those should be our guiding principles and indeed those were the values that you promised to defend, Mr Durão Barroso. Europe must remember that without security there is no freedom, without competitiveness there is no lasting social model and without subsidiarity there is no unity in diversity, but a fusion of separate entities, which is something we do not want. Lastly, the Barroso Commission has our support because it represents an opportunity to restore transatlantic ties. Europe is not defined by opposition to any country, particularly not by opposition – and certainly not by submission – to our main ally, but I believe that this is clear for all to see. Before I finish, a word to Mr Durão Barroso, who was a good Prime Minister of Portugal. I do not ask you to be our Commissioner, nor do I want you to be our Commissioner. I ask you to be the President of the Commission who never forgets the concerns of the citizens and of the Member States, regardless of their economic, demographic or geographical dimensions, and I trust that doing so will inspire you as you carry out your new and important duties. Good luck, Mr Durão Barroso. Thank you very much."@en1
