"Mr President, I think that all of us who believe in the European Union have reason to congratulate ourselves, particularly in these times of economic and sometimes political crisis. I believe that we have moved forward. We are taking a big step with the creation and launch of this European External Action Service.
I would like to congratulate not only the High Representative, but also those involved – such as, for example, within the European Parliament, our colleague Mr Brok – who have facilitated the achievement of the agreements that were necessary for this. I especially liked the phrase that you used, Baroness Ashton, about how it is the interests of the European Union that need to be defended above all.
I would also say to you – this is not advice, simply a comment – taking the position of my colleague, Mr Salafranca, that what is needed here is effectiveness. Moreover, I would add humility and effectiveness, following the example that the President of the Council, Mr Van Rompuy, is giving to us.
I am sure that you will succeed and, of course, as General Secretary of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats), I would like to give you my support, together with that of our entire group, in this enormous task that you are faced with."@en1
