". – Mr President, I wish to congratulate you and to thank all the Members and volunteers who ensured we had an election campaign.
Your election did not come as a great surprise, as we have known what the result would be since 2004. However, we have avoided a coronation and we have had a debate. You are now the elected President of the European Parliament. You are now the President for all Members. You are my President too, and you know of my wishes for reform: a single seat, better organised voting, better legislation, fair distribution of rapporteurships and posts, clean façades in Strasbourg, fair representation abroad, neutral staff and a fair chair.
My dear Hans-Gert, I have known you for 27 years, and you have been a good colleague. You are the best qualified to be an outstanding President, and I hope you have the will and courage to be one. I congratulate you on your election and wish you a good new year."@en1
