lpv:translated text	"Madam President, if pluralism characterises a democracy, the small troupe of Non-attached Members is certainly the quintessential element of this democracy. This is a group of variable geometry, composed of strong individuals with strong opinions, which very often are completely different to one another, to the extent that they are often in total opposition. I will therefore not be so audacious as to express my opinions other than on my own behalf. But I would like to think that my choice of words will be shared and accepted by each of these Members. I think that your Presidency has been characterised by a great deal of elegance. In my opinion, this is a virtue that is becoming so rare, particularly in political circles, that it deserves special mention. Your Presidency has been characterised by elegance, by the dignity that you have managed to maintain at all times, on your personal behalf and for this Parliament that you represent. It has also been characterised by an independence of spirit, the concern expressed by you that some would possibly say has not been felt in all areas, but which has in any case, in my opinion, been expressed with a great deal of sincerity. You also have the ability to detach yourself, in your role as President, from any political in-fighting, to detach yourself from the concerns arising from your own personal convictions to respect those of others. For these great virtues you have displayed, Madam President, I would like to thank and congratulate you."@en1
