"− Mr President-in-Office of the Council, we would like to thank you – and the applause was a clear expression of our thanks – for your speech, but in particular for your courage and your determination to serve Europe.
Before I give the President of the Commission the floor, I would like to welcome warmly the two ministers Bernard Kouchner and Jean Louis Borloo who have made a significant contribution to the success of the French Presidency. I extend a very warm welcome to both of you.
I would like first of all to welcome Bruno Le Maire, Minister of State for European Affairs, who is the successor to Jean-Pierre Jouyet. Jean-Pierre Jouyet is now the chairman of the French financial markets regulator and we have worked together with him very successfully in the past. I would like to take this opportunity to offer him my sincere thanks.
I hope you will allow me in the presence of the other European institutions – I know that this is not normal practice – to congratulate Klaus Hänsch, former President of the European Parliament from 1994 to 1997 and Member of the European Parliament since its first direct elections, on his 70th birthday yesterday. I would like to offer him our sincere thanks and our recognition of all his hard work for Parliament and for the European Union.
Now I would like to ask the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Durão Barroso, to speak to the European Parliament."@en1
