"Mr President, following the Lisbon Summit, the discussion of the European Treaty may be considered to be closed, as we now have one supreme aim – to ratify the Treaty as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Parliament does have a role to play here: please bear in mind that we have greater importance under the Treaty than we had before. There are three points to consider: the description of the role and tasks of the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy and the matter of his election, this being a joint decision with the European Council from 1 January 2009. We need to prepare for this joint decision in several areas, primarily security and the administration of justice. Thirdly, we must hold a political debate to finalise the principles by which the President of the European Council will act, with particular reference to his relations with the European Parliament. The most important thing, though, is ratification, and it depends to a large extent on us Members of the European Parliament. It will take place in different ways in each country. We must find ways of persuading citizens that this is a success not just for the Union, not just for politicians, but above all for them. This is our main task – ratification. Thanks and congratulations."@en1
