lpv:translated text	"Mr President, there is no doubt about it: the victory of the ‘yes’ vote in Ireland’s referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon is an extremely positive step for the revitalisation of the European Union and for the crucial political and institutional reforms provided for by the Treaty. I am delighted with the citizens of Ireland, who responsibly voted ‘yes’ and thus avoided full-blown paralysis of the European project. I hope that President Klaus and President Kaczyński can be convinced of this too, as it is to be hoped that Ireland’s ratification via the referendum will contribute towards the efforts to enable the Treaty to come into force on 1 January 2010. The Irish ‘yes’ vote shows, however, that a united Europe is the only politically credible project which can bring benefits to the countries and, above all, to the citizens. Today, there is no politician in Ireland, or in any of the other Member States, capable of proposing a development strategy for their country if it left the European Union, or perhaps participated in it in a more restricted way. We now need to act promptly and with greater courage from the Commission through bold pilot initiatives on various fronts; for example, greater courage to issue Eurobonds, greater courage for the joint management of the immigration issue and greater courage to address energy matters. Above all, however, we must take account of the serious mistakes committed in recent years. The decline of the political project we call the ‘European Union’ can be attributed to a specific factor: it happened when we insisted that this project should no longer follow the wishes of the people but those of the bureaucrats. Therefore, when I say ‘greater courage’, I am referring first and foremost to greater courage on the part of the Commission leadership, so that we can achieve the goals which we have set ourselves."@en1
