lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is my great honour to welcome you to the European Parliament. I hope I will be forgiven for mentioning the excellent memories that I cherish of my official visit to Italy last March, the especially warm welcome I received, that you gave me, Mr President, and the depth and clarity of your approach to Europe. Your visit today comes at what is a crucial time for European integration. We do of course have good cause for rejoicing in this regard, and we were talking about this a few seconds ago, following the adoption of the Charter of Fundamental Rights last Monday by the groups that make up the Convention. We are conscious, Mr President, that you have promoted this Charter right from the outset. You even believed in this project at a time when it was, for some, more a utopian dream than a tangible prospect. On many occasions, you have reiterated your desire for the Charter to be granted genuine legal effect. Even if the future of this text is now in the hands of the European Councils at Biarritz and then at Nice, this House looks forward to the results of these negotiations with a sense of optimism. This optimism has been heightened in recent days by the numerous interventions that we have heard from the Member States. But now is also the beginning of a key stage for the Intergovernmental Conference. At Leipzig on 6 July, you issued a call for a vision for the future of Europe, based on a draft constitution. We would like to join with President Chirac and Minister Fischer in saying how much we value this move. It is one that has initiated a genuine political debate on the future of Europe, and I have no doubt that your speech today will provide us with an opportunity to take this debate still further. Mr President, you can be sure of this Chamber's commitment to this great European project. We, for our part, are sure that we can count on a telling contribution from your country, whose actions have always been decisive each time that a major step is taken towards European integration."@en1
