"Mr President, I would firstly like to congratulate you for having presided over a Commission that has contributed so much to the political unification of Europe. Under your Presidency the old question of whether Europe can 'widen' and 'deepen' at the same time, which is one that plagued most of your predecessors, has been answered decisively and positively. I wonder, on the basis of your five years' experience at the head of the Executive, what your top tip would be for your successor as regards the conduct of relations with this Parliament?
I should like to end by wishing you personal success. There has only been one former President of the Commission who succeeded in carrying on a political career after retiring from the Commission. That was Roy Jenkins, who showed the British that Europe is so important to their national life that radical political change also had to take place inside his own country."@en1
