"Ladies and gentlemen, most of you have probably already heard the news I am about to give you. It is my sad duty to inform Parliament of the death of our much-loved colleague Mr Imbeni.
Mr Imbeni was a Member of this House and served as Vice-President for ten years, between 1994 and 2004. He was a committed parliamentarian, and I had the honour of working with him in COSAC.
Throughout his parliamentary career, Mr Imbeni was always eager to share his values and his European ideals with fellow Members. He threw himself into his daily work, gaining the respect of his colleagues for his approach to conciliation and for his contribution to the many working groups in which he took part. Mr Imbeni was also involved in the Mediterranean Forum and in COSAC, where, as I just mentioned, I was privileged to work alongside him.
The House is proud to have had him as a Member. Mr Imbeni’s work as Vice-President for a whole decade deserves particular recognition. We remember his wealth of knowledge, his generosity and his friendly smile. This was how he earned the respect of political friend and foe alike.
Mr Imbeni served as Mayor of Bologna for many years, and he made a point of remaining in touch with his electorate and the citizens.
I have sent a telegram to Mr Imbeni’s family, expressing condolences on behalf of the whole House. I trust you will now join me in observing a minute’s silence in memory of Mr Imbeni."@en1
