lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, firstly, I must say as a football fan I am delighted to see three European Union countries in the last four of the World Cup, and I can say without fear of contradiction that if my country, Ireland, were involved, we would be in the last four as well! Regarding the Spanish Presidency, I think that the dynamic is all wrong in terms of judging it. We have not taken into account the fact that the new Lisbon Treaty has changed utterly the way the Presidency operates and should be judged in the future. There is too much talk about leadership, success, flagship projects and so forth. The role of the Presidency is really one of facilitation, and that is the way it should be judged in future. In fairness to the Spanish, they did a good job in moving from pre-Lisbon to post-Lisbon. Especially in the financial area, there are now measures in place to rein in rogue banks and weak governments. So the Spanish did not do too badly and they must be given credit for making the transition during the most difficult Presidency of all."@en1
