lpv:translated text	"Mr President, thanks to the tenacity of the Swedish Presidency, which I too thank, we have the Treaty of Lisbon. However, a treaty such as this is not a project, but a tool, a toolbox to serve the European project, and it is therefore up to the men and women who manage the institutions – the Commission, its president, the Council – and to us here to make good use of these tools in the future, at the end of a transition period that has been long, too long. For we are now better equipped to take up three major challenges in the face of which, ladies and gentlemen, we will together be playing not only for the credibility of the European Union, but also, to repeat the word used by Mr Havel just now, for its sovereignty. The first challenge is that of the crisis, and we must not – we cannot – come out of it as we went into it, as if nothing had happened. There are lessons to be learnt in our dialogue with the United States, in particular, regarding governance, regarding solidarity, regarding transparency and regulation of the global economy, and for we Europeans there are lessons to be learnt as regards the safeguarding – I use that word deliberately – the consolidation of the internal market, in the ‘reconciliation of the market and society’, to repeat a word that I have adopted as my own, used by Mario Monti, to whom President Barroso has moreover usefully entrusted a task on this issue. The second challenge is that of green growth. In Kyoto, we took the lead on this issue, thanks to the European Commission. We must maintain this position by ensuring, of course, that our partners, the other large countries, the large regions, adopt a reciprocal attitude. And then, the third challenge is for us to be at the table, not ‘behind the table’, but ‘at the table’, of those who are going to decide on the world order – or disorder – over the next 20 years. This is not easy when we number 27 nations, but it is crucial all the same, unless we do not mind – which I personally do – being subcontractors or being under the influence of the other countries. This is why we have a great deal of confidence in the future work of the High Representative, whose job it will be to create a real common diplomatic and strategic culture. Mr President, Madam President-in-Office of the Council, the sooner we are ready, the better it will be for European citizens. That is why we eagerly and confidently await the decisions that you will take."@en1
