lpv:translated text	"Mr President, last week’s summit meeting of the European Union Heads of State was a very positive meeting from the point of view of Ireland and of Europe. The European Council has approved the European economic recovery plan, worth EUR 200 billion. It is essential that, when we look at the results of the European Council, we give credit where credit is due. Finding solutions and compromises to what were – or appeared to be – intractable problems suddenly arose like the cream rising to the top of milk. I congratulate you, President Sarkozy, on your efforts, including with regard to Ireland. We greatly appreciate the compromise that has been reached to allow for a second decision from the Irish people with regard to the Lisbon Treaty. I would like very briefly to point out to certain colleagues who spoke today and yesterday on what I am attributed as having said in Prague last week. Firstly, I never mentioned my father, as was indicated in the transcript that President Klaus released. Secondly, I never said that the Irish wished for Europe. I said that it was up to the Irish people to determine what will happen with the Lisbon Treaty. In the light of our experience over the last six months in particular, what is really needed, as we move forward, is a Europe that cooperates, coordinates and works together to achieve common goals on a basis of understanding and tolerance for the differing opinions and the different economic cycles that exist within the European Union. Mr President, my French is very poor, forgive me. Your Presidency has reconstituted the great European project, the European Union project with a big heart, based on equality and hard work, in Europe and also in the world. Thank you and good luck!"@en1
