lpv:translated text	". My first words will be to congratulate the leaders of the Member States for the historic agreement they entered into in Lisbon, which brings to an end many years of institutional uncertainty. I welcome the relentless work of daring, wisdom and pragmatism of the French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and Angela Merkel’s excellent German Presidency in the first half of 2007 of which put the institutional agenda on the rails. I would like to include in these congratulations recognition of the excellent and immense work accomplished by chairman Valéry Giscard d’Estaing. This agreement picks up the major political advances of the old text: a stable presidency for the European Union, a person responsible for European diplomacy, and a new voting mechanism with the extension of qualified majority voting, while strengthening the powers of the European Parliament. I am sorry that the symbols of the European Union (the flag, anthem and motto) have been abandoned. This Treaty also takes account of the messages delivered by the French and Dutch people who rejected the old Treaty, in that it does not retain the character of a constitution, which the original text had, and it does not set in stone in the Treaties of the European Union a collection of European public policies that instead come under the current functioning of European democracy."@en1
