"Mr President, thinking back to the beginning, the performance of my fellow Members come to my mind first. That was the time when I realised that we had started with a serious handicap. Minus 100 metres can mean a significant handicap in a short-distance race, am I right, Hungarian Socialist colleagues? They drew plans, but did not consider that we take our objectives seriously, and would like to realise them as well. We had to overcome a couple of hurdles; our words are misinterpreted even today.
The Hungarian Presidency decided upon a strict timetable and ambitious goals, and stuck to them until the very end even in the hardest times. This was the first Presidency to live through a change in the institutional system, but was able to coordinate the codecision procedure while maintaining a Parliament-friendly Presidency. The Presidency worked with perseverance in order to launch the European Semester and create the ‘six pack’ on economic governance. The Roma strategy is the key to elevate social groups lagging behind. We rallied the countries along the Danube again into an alliance with a view to launching successful economic and political cooperation. The accession of Croatia is approaching; in fact, it is at an arm’s length now. We have the right to say that the Hungarian Presidency has worked hard for success. It is a great pleasure to see that others are also satisfied with the work we have done, and I have to say that we owed this service not only to Europe, but to Hungary and its people as well."@en1
