"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, over the past few weeks we have been witness to what I believe to be a valuable exercise in European democracy.
Not once have you heard me utter a single word in criticism of Parliament, even during the most difficult times and even when no agreement could be reached. Quite the contrary, I have always given you constructive answers, which were proof of my desire to cooperate with your institution.
It is my opinion that we have now resolved all the problems in a spirit of compromise, and, after all, the only way in which Europe can be built is in a spirit of compromise. It is impossible to please all the people all the time; compromises must always be made. We have reached an outcome which is, on the whole, satisfactory, and I am delighted at this fact. We owe it to the people of Europe to ensure that the European institutions which come out of this exercise are stronger and better able to meet the public’s expectations. You will be aware of what these expectations are: more growth, more jobs and a strengthening of the European model, which combines reforms and economic dynamism with solidarity and social cohesion. You have before you a competent and efficient Commission, and I can assure you that as its leader I will devote all my energies to achieving these objectives and to ensuring that the men and women of Europe notice what has changed. I am counting on your support."@en1
