"Despite the fact that time-wise the second half of the year is not the most ideal, during their Presidency of the Union, the French have proven that they are justifiably considered a leader and driving force of the Union. I have been a Member of the European Parliament for four and a half years. I can positively say that France has had the most active approach to resolving the problems of all 27 Member States of the Union.
The historic change brought about by electing the charismatic and very active President Sarkozy is indisputably positive. His abilities were also demonstrated in his immediate response to the problem of Russia and Georgia. The financial crisis also erupted in that period, to which the French promptly responded by proclaiming the need for a systemic solution and revision of the Union’s control and financial mechanisms, including from the global standpoint. It was during the French Presidency that the European Union earned the reputation of an active player in world politics, when the G8 and G20 summits were convened upon the initiative of the French President and President Barroso.
I believe that the forthcoming European Council meeting will be successful and that all European institutions will proceed jointly."@en1
