lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I am interested in all the talk about ‘small’ because I come from a small country. We have held the presidency a number of times in our involvement in the European Union since 1973, and I think our last presidency was deemed very successful. It does prove that small countries can have very successful presidencies if they take it seriously, put in the resources and utilise the back-up that is available. I think Malta did that very effectively and they are to be complimented on their dedication and on their practicality. One thing that happened during their presidency – they cannot claim full credit for it but it will always be recorded as happening during their presidency – was the end of roaming charges. They got it over the line, made sure it happened, and it is for the benefit of all Europeans. It just shows that, whether a country is small or big, once we put our resources together and work together we can be successful for all Europeans. Malta is a perfect example and well done to them."@en1
