"Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome the resounding ‘yes’ expressed by the Irish people last Sunday in the referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon. Let us hope that the arduous process of ratifying this Treaty has finally come to an end.
I am sure that the Treaty will also be ratified by the Czech Republic. It would, I believe, be incomprehensible and unacceptable were the future of Europe to be held back, were it to be blocked by a personal opinion that totally disregards and stands at odds with the majority of the relevant parliament. We all want the institutional impasse we have faced for almost 10 years to finally come to an end.
I therefore thank the Irish people, since the will they have shown gives us hope for a stronger, more prosperous Europe that is more unified and enlarged, while giving all European institutions the duty and obligation to act in such a way as not to betray this will. Moreover, this will is shared by the vast majority of European citizens.
I hope that we are all worthy of a Europe that is increasingly prominent, is more cohesive and which promotes democratic values, social and fundamental rights and economic growth across the world, while also promoting environmental protection."@en1
