lpv:translated text	"Thank you, Mr President. I too have been able to assist with monitoring the elections in Ukraine and I can now report, as an observer, that the elections were free and democratic. I should like to point out that I know what I am talking about. As a member of the Council of Europe, I have for ten years had the opportunity to monitor various elections and this has been a critical period for some countries, I might mention the elections in Croatia, Albania or even the last parliamentary elections in Ukraine. In comparison with all these elections, it can be said that the elections were well prepared, the atmosphere was calm, they were transparent and monitored by observers for both candidates. The majority achieved in the results of the election show that the president was indeed elected. This does not mean a victory for the west or a defeat for the east. It can be said that the Ukrainians were victorious. Ukraine now has the feeling for the first time that it has achieved independence, that it has come of age as a state. The saying goes: ‘Glory to the victor, honour to the vanquished!’ It is important now for the Ukrainian president to unite the nation in an effort to revive the historical importance which Ukraine has always enjoyed in Europe, to make it an important bridge between the European Union and Russia. And of course, I also support the proposal made here for Ukraine to become a future member of the European Union, but only if its citizens so wish, of course. I support the proposal made by the president of our delegation, Mr Saryusz-Wolski, that a committee should be formed."@en1
