lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Presidents of the Council and the Commission, the Hungarian Presidency has been highly successful, bearing in mind the challenges. If you think of the unwillingness of some Member States to find a common European solution, then one can only complement this Presidency of the Council on its internal arrangements. Prime Minister, I would like you to pass on that compliment to your Minister of State for EU Affairs, Mrs Győri, who was present here day and night and really set a good example. On that count I must take issue with Mr Ransdorf. How is a presidency supposed to make sensible proposals if it is constantly blocked, particularly by the large Member States? There are many examples of this. In view of these challenges the Presidency has really done well. Let us look at the applause given to Mr Farage or the words of Mr Zahradil or of Mr Swoboda, of Mr Cohn-Bendit – where are these gentlemen now? All four have disappeared. They had their say, but did not even want to wait to hear your answer. That is hardly a fair way to treat people, or to treat the Hungarian Presidency. Naturally, you had some domestic policy problems to resolve. Of course there were debates. Mr Swoboda’s contribution, however – which did not even go into the agenda of the Hungarian Presidency – I see as nothing more than a diversionary tactic. To Mr Cohn-Bendit I would point out that, as capable as he is, not even Mr Orbán can solve all the world’s problems from China to North Africa. The Presidency has done a good job, and bearing in mind the fact that there have also been complaints regarding how Brussels wants to regulate absolutely everything then I cannot readily take issue with your comments that have been quoted here – for the Commission in Brussels often acts as if there had been no changes in the challenges we face. It just potters along exactly as before. If we have succeeded in stemming the tide of nationalism from some Member States and in limiting the nannying of our citizens, then this Hungarian Presidency has trodden the right path and been a great success."@en1
