lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, trade and cooperation help to bring countries and individuals closer together, as does sport. In 2008 we have an anniversary that is particularly important for European countries: it is the 100th anniversary of the International Ice Hockey Federation. To commemorate this event, a group of Members from European hockey-playing countries, led by the Slovak Member of the European Parliament, Mr Peter Šťastný, organised an exhibition in the European Parliament in Brussels, reminding us of both the successes as well as the difficult times when athletes were oppressed in some countries under the communist regime. Thanks to Mr Šťastný’s contacts, the Stanley Cup was brought over from Canada especially for this occasion and was put on display, for the first time, in Belgium and in the European Parliament. In conclusion, I would like to express my thanks to you, Mr President, and to Commissioner Mr Ján Figeľ, for launching and sponsoring the exhibition, whose motto is ‘Uniting people through the passion for a sport’, and of course to all those who visited this exhibition and will pass the message on to others."@en1
