"Mr President, Prime Minister, I am convinced that Europe will be pleasantly surprised by the Belgian Presidency, thanks to a number of successes in the short term, as the circumstances are very favourable – this has already been mentioned – the SWIFT dossier, banking supervision and also the hedge funds dossier. Prime Minister, it is logical that a number of Eurosceptics and Europopulists – let us call them that – are not happy about this, as they are terrified of Europe becoming stronger under this Belgian Presidency. Your priorities of a stronger economy, stronger economic cooperation and, in particular, an action plan for more jobs, are particularly welcome.
Prime Minister, allow me to add one point, and that concerns sport. As you know, the Treaty of Lisbon allows us to launch European sport campaigns. Sport is an excellent uniting factor, of which we are currently seeing evidence daily in South Africa. It is a uniting factor between regions, between countries and, particularly, between population groups, and I say let us seize upon the Council meeting on sport in November to set to work on this and put sport, too, on the European agenda. I wish you every success, Mr Leterme."@en1
