lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Prodi, the last five years have been filled with changes and on some occasions with dramatic events: the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, 11 September and international terrorism, which reached right to the heart of Europe with the Madrid massacre. In the face of these challenges, the Member States have not always responded with one voice. But the Commission under your command has firmly held its course in the direction of an ever greater and more unified Europe. Indeed, no one can deny that you have achieved historic goals, which are certain to change for ever the conception of Europe and its role on the international stage. Thanks to your actions, the Commission has regained impetus, respectability and authority. The unification of Europe that has been achieved through the accession of ten new countries, the greatest enlargement ever seen in history, has healed the scars of fifty years of divisions and has been the political response to the end of the Cold War. The introduction of the euro and its performance on the international markets has increased Europe’s economic stature worldwide and today these are fundamental ingredients for the strengthening of our continent in an era of economic interdependence and globalisation. The neighbourhood policy has made it possible to stabilise the Balkans and Europe’s borders. Finally, the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe is an historic step and for us represents a new starting point on the route towards the goal of political integration. These objectives would not have been achieved without your leadership, your moral integrity and your dedication to the cause of the European Union. Our group therefore thanks you for the vision and courage you have displayed over the last five years, laying the foundations for a Europe which is more united within and a leading player on the world stage. If I had to sum it all up in two words, I would know exactly which ones to choose: ‘mission accomplished’"@en1
