"Thank you, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, today our sitting closes one of the most important EU presidencies of the last decade. It has not been a typical six months in politics, with the presiding country striving to coordinate the EU Member States. Following the highly successful German Presidency, which succeeded in concluding the period of reflection on the Constitution, the Portuguese Presidency successfully oversaw the signing of the so-called Lisbon Treaty. As in the past, when Portugal entered the history books as a founder and discoverer of a new land, European modern history will remember Portugal as the founder of a new history within the framework of the European Union. I believe that the position of the European Parliament will, in the context of this agreement, have a far greater importance than it has had to date. Besides this fundamental document, the Portuguese Presidency is also to be commended for the European Union-Brazil summit as well as for the recently concluded European Union-Africa summit. Both of these summits have laid solid foundations for the activities of the countries that will hold the presidency in the future and for increasing the influence of the European Union in those parts of the world. Mr President, I would like to thank you for your endeavours and wish you a happy Christmas."@en1
