lpv:translated text	"As you have seen and heard, Parliament has welcomed the first Presidency of Slovenia, and I, too, on behalf of my political group, can say that the hundred members of my political group have consistently welcomed your efforts in the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. I myself see this as the final phase in the integration of Slovenia into the European Union. This is not just about the Slovenian Presidency, but about the fact that the citizens of our country have, as the first among the new members, experienced the responsibility which membership of the European Union also brings to the wider community of citizens and to the whole population. So this integration is now behind us and has been completed successfully, and of course I myself must congratulate you for that. If anything holds true, then now there are no longer any doubts as to whether you come from Slovenia or Slovakia. In these six months I have no longer had anyone try to send me back to Bratislava. Everybody boasts of having been in Ljubljana and of having enjoyed it. However, I do not share the assessment of what was actually achieved in the Western Balkans. Less was achieved than was possible. Most importantly Macedonia, the Republic of Macedonia, is still far from a date. The situation there has not been put right, conditions are still deteriorating, the political culture is in reverse and neighbourly relations are in retreat. That is why we still have a lot of work ahead of us here. I will end with just one appeal: a great many people have worked hard in this Presidency, Mr President, and it would be good if we had the opportunity to stay here another month or so and help the French Presidency. Just as the Presidency begins and runs its course, so it ends. And up to the end of this year, Slovenia with its knowledge could contribute a great deal to the success of the French Presidency."@en1
