"Madam President, I am very happy that this dispute, which not long ago seemed to be a never-ending story, has now found a solution. Like the foxtrot with our beloved European External Action Service, this has taken too long. A slow foxtrot makes your back ache, and your partner may end up disappointed. The partner here, however, is none other than our citizens. I hope that this new form of democracy succeeds, and that we do not betray our citizens’ expectations. For me, the saddest thing in the whole debate was that too often we saw distrust towards the citizens, the fear that citizens would come out with brainless ideas. This fear is unfounded, as we will indeed see.
Mr Šefčovič, I would also like the Commission to start to trust its own citizens more. As a representative of Estonia, I want to thank the Council too, which has retained the option of a digital signature, because this is essential for my people. Europe is eagerly awaiting the creative ideas of its citizens. Thank you."@en1
