"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr President, firstly, please allow me to congratulate the Austrian Presidency and Mr Wolfgang Schüssel, the President, for their work and the results achieved in the past six months. In the course of its term, the Austrian Presidency has had to face considerable challenges. Further work is required in respect of the Constitutional Treaty before a final – and hopefully positive – decision is reached. The ‘parallel approach’ which, on the one hand, continues the reconciliation work regarding the future of the Treaty, and on the other hand, focuses more resolutely on results and projects that facilitate daily processes to a higher extent, seems to be correct. I find that the published list containing the successful initiatives that can be implemented by 2010 is very useful in this respect. I believe that the adoption of a time schedule regarding continuation has been a particularly significant step forward. However, I think it is unfortunate that real, substantial decisions have not been reached even during the Austrian Presidency on issues that are always postponed, such as the regulation of working hours. Still, I welcome the initiative that a solemn political statement on European values and endeavours should be made at the March 2007 European Union Summit in Berlin, which will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome. I agree that in the case of codecision procedures Council sessions should be public, and I support the accession of Romania and Bulgaria to the European Union, in the hope that this will improve the situation of the Hungarian ethnic minority. The new Finnish Presidency will inherit numerous unresolved problems, and it will have to focus in the future on economic reforms, social justice, safety and stability, as well as the role of Europe in the world."@en1
