"Mr President, I would like to start by congratulating the Slovenian Presidency, as well as the ministers and experts, who created such a friendly atmosphere for our work over the past six months. We should remember that it was in your Presidency that the majority of European Union countries said ‘yes’ to the Lisbon Treaty. This fact should not be overshadowed by the single Irish ‘no’. We shall continue with our work, so let us focus on the positive. I would like to thank the Slovenian Presidency for its work on the regulation on maintenance obligations, for which I was the rapporteur. I have to say that I regret that the European Parliament is only being consulted in this matter. I believe that the Council Decision to deny us co-decision is a mistake. I would also like to thank you for your involvement in the matter of including all Member States in the American Visa Waiver Programme – this is point 23 of the conclusions. This will allow all citizens to be treated equally, which is something that everyone is waiting for, including my own countrymen.
My final thanks are for the Eastern Partnership. This is very important for all European Union Member States, but especially for countries with eastern frontiers."@en1
