"Mr President, Prime Minister, anyone who heard the American President saying at the press conference after the summit with the European Union that ‘we have had a nice meeting with these people from the European Union’ would wonder whether he was thinking about Mr Barroso, Chancellor Angela Merkel, or who? Anyone who saw or heard the American President could be in no doubt that we need one voice for the European Union, and that is why we thank you for your clarity in your speech today. Anyone who has been to the Middle East is also in no doubt that we need one voice for the European Union.
That is why, Prime Minister Prodi, it is one thing to speak in the European Parliament – we all know that, as this is not the most difficult place to argue for a better treaty – but it is another to speak in the IGC, when the hard stuff comes and it is face to face.
I know you are a strong and firm Prime Minister. We respect you. Stand firm, Prime Minister, and we will stand firm with you, on behalf of the European Socialists and progressives all around Europe. I think you will have a strong majority behind you standing firm together with you for the benefit of European people in the future."@en1
