lpv:spoken text	"Colleagues, fifty years ago the first meeting of the Common Assembly of the European Coal and Steel Community, the predecessor of the European Parliament, took place here in Strasbourg. We celebrate today, therefore, fifty years of parliamentarianism at the heart of our common European project and enterprise, and fifty years of the contribution of parliamentarians to sustained and sustainable peace with prosperity. On that occasion on 10 September 1952, Jean Monnet, as President of the High Authority, welcomed 'the first European Assembly invested with the power of decision'. The next speaker on that day was Konrad Adenauer who said that the new Assembly 'marked fresh and significant progress in our project of creating a new Europe'. Today on behalf of the Parliament I acknowledge and salute that illustrious post-war generation of the pioneers of European integration: in paying tribute to their indelible achievements, we today pledge our own energies as a directly elected European Parliament and pledge our own commitment to serve the rising generation of Europeans across our entire continent, as we move to embrace the historic and unprecedented enlargement that now awaits us. To mark this anniversary, I would like to invite you to participate in a ceremony which will take place today at 1 p.m. in the space next to the hemicycle. This will include the raising of the European flag and a short musical performance by a colliery band from the Saar. You are all very welcome to attend. I would also like to remind you of an invitation to the opening of an exhibition about the history of the European Parliament and European integration. The exhibition, entitled 'A story with a future' will be formally opened at 2.45 p.m. this afternoon in the Visitors' area on the ground floor of the Louise Weiss building."@en1
