lpv:translated text	"I would like to say what a pleasure it is that the Treaty of Lisbon is finally to enter into force, and to talk about who ought to be the President of Europe. Presiding over the European Council does not mean presiding in Europe, but rather being together with the European Union Member States, the Member States’ leaders, and supporting and encouraging them to reinforce the European Union’s role among tomorrow’s leading global states. I would like to say that Mrs Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga, Latvia’s former president, has all the personal leadership qualities and political leadership experience to make her a successful president of the European Council. Her fate symbolises the history of our divided continent – a refugee after the Second World War, she returned to Latvia; as soon as our country was free again, she returned to become its president. During the eight years of her presidency, Latvia became a Member State of the European Union and of NATO. Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga is a staunch European citizen. She is a highly educated and powerful figure who thoroughly understands the challenges of Europe’s future. She will definitely also be able to take unpopular decisions, should that be necessary."@en1
