lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I am very grateful to Mr Klinz for distinguishing so clearly between the assessment of the candidate himself and the procedure, because we must not give the impression that our demands and desires as regards the procedure interfere with our assessment of the man himself. Today we are assessing the candidate himself, and, in Mr Stark, the Council has put forward a strong candidate to succeed Mr Issing. I should like to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing Executive Board Member Mr Issing once again for his work and constructive cooperation. Mr Stark represents a strong signal for the Stability and Growth Pact, for the Maastricht criteria, for the independence of the ECB, for a strong euro and for continuity and calculability – and continuity and calculability are preconditions for confidence. We need not only greater confidence in the EU, but also great confidence in the independence of the ECB and in the euro as a strong currency. For that reason, I ask all my fellow Members to demonstrate our great confidence in Mr Stark tomorrow. I would also ask that we refrain from sacrificing these facts, which are also set out in the report – committed European, competent expert, champion of the value of independence, advocate of prioritising price stability, firm conviction in monetary policy, openness with regard to the rights of Parliament, and commitment to stepping up the dialogue between the two institutions – to party political small-mindedness, because this attitude has no place in either the EU or the European Central Bank."@en1
