lpv:translated text	"Thank you very much, Mr Prodi. Before giving the floor to the spokespeople of the political groups, I would like – on behalf of Parliament and on my own behalf – to thank you for your work at the head of the Commission, and point out that you took up your post at a particularly difficult time in the history of Europe, and that five years later – at the end of your mandate – Europe has undergone certain historic transformations. Yes, they have been truly historic. This is not rhetoric but is truly the right word to describe what has happened in Europe during your mandate. The effective implementation of the euro, the effective implementation of Monetary Union – which has been dreamt of for so long and which has taken so much work to achieve – will bear the name of the ‘Prodi Commission’. The greatest enlargement of the European Union – which will surely never be repeated – has also been carried out under your Presidency. This is one of the structural transformations of Europe that history will associate with your name and the Commission you have presided over, and also with your valuable and intense participation in the work on the Constitution, which will be subject to a referendum. On the basis of these three issues alone, Mr Prodi, you are leaving the Presidency of the Commission with a fine record, with many achievements, political achievements, which have profoundly transformed the reality of Europe and enhanced its unity. My predecessors have told me that you have always taken notice of the European Parliament, which has always found you to be a good listener. Although we have perhaps not always followed your advice, the Members of this House have always at least valued your friendliness and your constant accessibility. And, first and foremost, your commitment to Europe. It was because of that commitment to Europe – which is widely recognised – that you became President of the Commission. You can feel satisfied above all because, on leaving the Presidency, that commitment to Europe is even more widely recognised than before."@en1
