lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, too, I should like to welcome our fellow Members from Romania and Bulgaria and our new Commissioners. I should also like to thank you, Mr President, for having given us the opportunity to listen to the European anthem again – it truly is the world’s finest anthem, and it is always a very moving experience to hear it. Starting from today, in good times and in bad, our problems, our aspirations and our objectives will also to some extent be yours, and your worries, weaknesses and objectives will also to some extent be ours. We hope that, after accession, the difficult road to reform will continue, even though, unfortunately, I have to say that being a member of the European Union is not always a sufficient guarantee of stability and of any imbalances and problems being eliminated, as the example of some old and new countries – among which I must sadly mention my own – clearly demonstrates. Mr President, I should like to thank you on behalf of my group, too. You have given a summary in this House of the events of the last two and a half years, which I did not recall being so dense and, in some ways, so dramatic. I wish to thank you on behalf of my group, even though you know that we did not support your election, for reasons that clearly have nothing to do with you as a person, but I specifically wanted to thank you because you have always done your best to make this Parliament a credible forum for debate and to spread its values of democracy and harmony throughout the world. We often supported you precisely when two majority groups, which, unlike us, voted for you, left you somewhat in the lurch, for example when you wanted to make progress with the Constitution, with the financial perspective and with internal reforms, which sadly remain incomplete. Today, you are relinquishing your role as President of the European Parliament; no doubt you will assume others, or sit alongside us here, in plenary. Once again, I wish to thank you for your kindness and for your friendship and, if I may say so, also for your affability as a person."@en1
