lpv:spoken text	". Mr President, honourable Members, I have asked for the floor at this point because I believe it is important that I share with you my analysis of the current situation and that I convey to you my position at this stage of our debate. I was honoured to receive your support as President-designate of the Commission in July. At that time I committed myself to working actively with you in the European interest. I renew that commitment today. I believe that we can agree on our common commitment to reinforcing the democratic nature of European integration. In that spirit, I hope we can arrive at an outcome in the next few weeks that will permit us to take forward our work in the European Union. You can count on me. I can always offer you loyal, constructive cooperation for the good of Europe and the European Union project. I listened very attentively to yesterday's debate. I have had extensive contacts with the Group leaders, and I have also spoken with the President–in–Office of the Council. I have come to the conclusion that if a vote were to take place today, the outcome would not be positive for the European institutions or for the European project. In these circumstances I have decided not to submit a new Commission for your approval today. I need more time to look at this issue, to consult with the Council and to consult further with you, so that we can have strong support for the new Commission. It is better to have more time to get it right. These last few days have demonstrated that the European Union is a strong political construction and that this Parliament, elected by popular vote across all our Member States, has a vital role to play in the governance of Europe."@en1
