"Ladies and gentlemen, I regret that I have some sad news to communicate to you: the passing of our fellow Member, Professor Rolandas Pavilionis
Mr Pavilionis was a fervent defender of human rights, he fought actively for Lithuania’s independence and then for his country’s accession to the Union, before being elected a Member of the European Parliament.
Before that accession, Professor Pavilionis had taken part in the work of the Convention on the future of Europe.
He was highly active in the fields of education, science and culture and I would like to stress his position as rector of the University of Vilnius.
We shall all remember him for his work in our Parliament, as a member of the Committee on Culture and Education.
He was vice-chairman of his Group, the Union for Europe of the Nations, in which he was greatly valued by his fellow Members for his intellectual qualities.
I would also like to inform you that tomorrow there will be a book of condolence in front of the Chamber, which will be open for all Members and anybody who wants to record a final remembrance to sign.
I would now ask that we observe a minute’s silence in his memory."@en1
