"Mr President, when the situation heats up, we have to keep cool heads. It is pointless, therefore, at times of crisis, to think of what Europe could be but is not, and throw everything away on this bitter contradiction: throw away 50 years – as President Prodi said – of intelligence, unity, peace, admirable institutional structures and positive results. The Europe which it is possible to have is the current one and therefore let us not feel ashamed to talk of Lisbon, welfare, the labour market, energy, telecommunications, task forces, the Stability Pact or the Convention but let us move forward. This is the only path there is: we are condemned to following this path. One final point: I feel deeply offended as an MEP, as a European and as an Italian by the irresponsible tolerance which Mr Cox showed for the placards held up by left-wing fellow Members in this Chamber. While ‘Stop the war’ is understandable, it is completely unacceptable for placards with the words ‘Stop the killers’ to be displayed in this Chamber. In Mr Cox’s language, ‘killer’ means ‘murderer’. The United States and the United Kingdom liberated my country 60 years ago, and gave it back democracy and freedom. For the past and for the present, I simply say ‘thank you’ to the United States and the United Kingdom."@en1
