lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to congratulate the German Presidency on adopting such an ambitious programme and on its efforts to deal with matters that are of major importance for the Union. This summit has to be a success, but the Constitution will not be the only important issue it will have to deal with. At the start of her Presidency, Mrs Merkel indicated that we had to build Europe together. By that standard, it has been a good Presidency. Firstly, the principle of solidarity has regained its pre-eminence. It must also be incorporated into the common energy policy and the common emigration policy. Secondly, the principle of the Union’s unity and cohesion the outside world has been defended. We cannot be divided and we stand as one on the most important matters. That remains a crucial issue for the Union. Thirdly, we have reached a turning point as regards the workings of the Union. Many bilateral discussions have taken place, and the fundamental debate on the Union’s future and institutional efficiency has been resumed. I am convinced that it often takes many months or even years for such major political initiatives to be recognised as a success. It should be borne in mind too that the Union is in a great technological race to ensure victory for the Lisbon Strategy. Mrs Merkel also said that technology, talent and tolerance are needed for development. The Seventh Framework Programme got off to a good start with many programmes linked to innovation and the new technologies. Questions arise, however, as to how we can retain talent in Europe, and how we can become more competitive. So far the answer has not been forthcoming. The German Presidency will certainly be associated with specific Lisbon Strategy successes such as the new roaming charges, the opening of the energy market and the opening of the market in services and labour. Credit is also due to the European Commission, however. It will be important for the Member States of the European Union to make strong efforts in this direction too at the forthcoming European Union summit."@en1
