"Mr President, almost everything that can be said, has been said. It was a good presidency and we are grateful for it. Despite the impasse on the constitutional process, there has been progress – ‘Europe on the move’. An example is the adoption of ’Schengen for all’. This is extremely important for the new Member States.
This presidency has also shown, despite some foot-dragging and perhaps reluctance, how important solidarity is in external relations, and how important it is not to leave any Member State in the lurch. President Barroso deserves particular thanks here. If the principle of unilateral thinking is necessary to secure this principle of solidarity, we should keep it up until solidarity becomes an automatic response and prevails over national and economic selfishness.
One further point: I am dissatisfied by the reduction of eastern policy to the northern and Russian dimension, to the exclusion of the issues of Ukraine and Belarus."@en1
