lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Mr Prime Minister, I share in the thanks already expressed by others, though I am not going to specify the individual points that justify this gratitude. The Committee on Constitutional Affairs (AFCO), which I chair, has had the chance to meet you on a number of occasions, including in your own country. We first met you as a delegation and then within the Conference of Parliamentary Committees for Union Affairs; we have witnessed the constant, unambiguous and pro-European commitment of the Hungarian Presidency. The AFCO would like to thank you in particular for your contribution this semester to concluding the report on the citizens’ initiative. Likewise, thank you for the statements that Mrs Győri made here just recently as she took on the commitment, on behalf of the Council, to adhere to the transparency register as soon as possible. The Polish Presidency can hardly fail to follow suit. Hungary chose ‘Stronger Europe’ as its slogan and I sincerely believe that this was well-chosen. You have succeeded in riding out a storm that was made even more intense by the criticisms levelled by Parliament. I must say, as a constitutional scholar – indeed, I have written a book on all the constitutions in Europe – that it is unheard of to try and criticise the constitution of a Member State for reasons of domestic policy. It is also unprecedented to say that a constitution is incompatible with European principles because it refers to human and family values, which are precisely the values of the European tradition and the very building blocks of Europe. I therefore thank you not only for the strong and courageous work of your Presidency, but also for the Constitution of Hungary."@en1
