lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, opinion polls show that on average, 70% of the population of Europe believe that we need more common foreign and security policies. There is no other area in which Europe is so united, but this is where we have been weakest to date. The people want it, but the elite in the capital cities do not. I agree with Mr Verhofstadt that the issue now is not the removal of sovereignty, but that we are to pool sovereignty, claiming it back for our citizens, so that we can continue to exist in this world. This, and nothing else, is the point and the EEAS will make a significant contribution here. Baroness Ashton, thank you for the statements you have made. I assume that these will also be communicated to Parliament, that they will be applied accordingly, and that the agreement to publish these in the Official Journal of the European Union will be honoured. No doubt we shall have to discuss these formalities in further detail, but now that you have made this contribution, we can start work on implementation. I would emphasise once again that what we have outlined with regard to the fair distribution of positions – including in respect of the participation of Commission officials – also applies to the most senior positions, and that the positions of the Secretary General and Vice Secretary Generals should not be filled solely from the Council’s side. I would like to put this on record. In addition, we have also expressed some of the principles contained in the legislative resolution before you, what we wish to develop further in the Statute and so on, and where we have some proposals that go further than the present agreement. I would also like to advise Lady Ashton that the large package of papers on Mrs Gräßle’s desk should not be seen as a threat, but rather as evidence of the growing interest of the Committee on Budgetary Control in her service, so that preparations can already be made. I would like to thank Mr Verhofstadt and Mr Gualtieri for their good cooperation, also at a personal level. I would like to offer my thanks to my fellow Members, to you, Lady Ashton, and to Mr Christoffersen, as well as to our colleagues in the Commission staff and to Parliament’s officials. Permit me also to make an exception on this occasion by thanking one particular official of this House, namely Mrs Palatová, who did a sterling job."@en1
