"Mr President, a whole series of my colleagues has successively congratulated the Luxembourg Presidency. I am doubly proud today because a country the size of the country which I represent has produced leaders who demonstrate that they can talk without mincing their words and who can also stand as leaders beyond the borders of their own country.
Little Cyprus, which qualifies as a positive contributor on the basis of certain questionable statistics, cannot be a positive contributor while, at the same time, Great Britain has the privilege of refunds. The criterion of agriculture cannot be used for the contribution to gross national product; it must be the social balance between town and countryside, the combating of urbanism and the protection of the environment.
You have promoted the Lisbon process, the failure of which to date must again be blamed on the Member States. You have achieved the Stability Pact on which the governments of the Member States at the time knew how to compromise, because this was a particularly burning issue for them.
I also wish to congratulate you on your contribution to the common position on the EU-Turkey Association Council, which must count as one of your achievements, and to congratulate you personally, Mr Schmit, on your contribution to action to find a package of proposals on Cyprus, which will form the basis on which a dialogue will be held, in a good climate, between the two communities, in order to resolve our problems."@en1
