"First of all, the President of the Council and the High Representative are not there representing a part of Europe: they represent all of Europe.
Let me say that I was very happy also with the nomination of Herman Van Rompuy. When Prime Minister Reinfeldt put forward his name, it was evident that this was the name that could secure consensus around the table. And the fact that he comes from Belgium, bringing instinctive support to the Community method and being instinctively pro-European – that is a very good tribute to Belgium as well.
Having said this, with regard to the importance of the new Member Sates, I think you have already made their importance clear by the election of Mr Buzek as President of the European Parliament: someone coming from a new Member State, someone who has given so much for the reunification of Europe.
So, when we are in these positions, I am not here representing one country or one region: we are representing the whole of Europe."@en1
