lpv:translated text	". Mr President, if Mr Barroso had as much support in the Council as he does in Parliament, Europe would be a different place. Firstly, I would like to make it very clear that I believe that the judgment of the German Federal Constitutional Court is a good one. For the second time in just a few days, the almost hysterical opponents of Europe have been defeated, firstly by the decision of the European Central Bank and now by the decision of the German Federal Constitutional Court. This shows that given courage and clear decision-making, it is possible to strengthen Europe, even though certain limits have been set. Secondly, I would like to strongly support what was said by Ms Gurmai and other speakers on the question of women. I spoke yesterday with Ms Reding. It is important, particularly in the world of business and also with regard to appointments made by European institutions, that the many excellent women candidates receive support. Just like the men, they must have the opportunity to take up certain positions. Thirdly, I would like to thank the Commission for its draft document on political parties. It is very good that we now have a new draft which will allow us to move forwards. I support the principles relating to the political parties. I visit all the Member States and I have said there exactly what you, Mr Barroso, have said here. Fourthly, just so that everything is not quite so harmonious, Mr Barroso, you have declared your support for the European social model. This is a good thing and I am in favour of it. However, given the situation in Greece, I have made it quite clear, including when I visited Greece, that stringent and often painful structural forms are needed. Not everyone in Greece wanted to hear that, even my friends there, but that is what is needed. If the troika, including the Commission, now calls for the reintroduction of the six-day week and the 13-hour day and removes other social rights, we will be seeing the destruction of the social state. Mr Barroso, we cannot support the social state and the social model in Parliament while at the same time allowing the Commission officials in the troikas to dismantle and destroy the social state. We in the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament cannot accept that. It is not a basis for consensus. I would very much like to come to a consensus with you and the Commission about the social model and the social state, but then the Commission officials in the troikas must ensure that the social state is not dismantled and that at least its core structures remain in place. That is the principle that we in the S&D Group stand for."@en1
