lpv:translated text	"Mr President, President-in-Office of the Council, President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, satisfaction, happiness, success, victory, are words that have been used here today, and rightly so, about the informal Council in Lisbon. Indeed, the agreement on the new Treaty was announced before midnight on 18 October. It was a historic moment. Firstly because of the results achieved, but also because it was done so quickly. After a little more than 12 months of intense work and negotiation it was possible to achieve the required consensus on the first day of the Summit. What is more, on the same day an agreement was signed with the European Union’s social partners, employers and trade unions, to modernise the labour market, an important step for the new cycle of the Lisbon Strategy. The Portuguese Presidency is to be congratulated. It achieved its top priority with acknowledged skill: to give Europe a new Treaty, which was a great victory. Europe has emerged from a six-year impasse and can now concentrate on what is really important to citizens because, as Jean Monnet said, we cannot stop when the whole world around us is on the move, and the speed at which the world turns makes no allowance for a slow European response. The Treaty will be signed on 13 December, and the ratification process will follow, which should be swift and problem-free. As a Portuguese national I want to say how pleased I am because, once again, the name of Lisbon is indelibly linked to a decisive moment in European integration. Thank you Prime Minister Sócrates. You deserve thanks from Portugal and also from Europe for your determination and commitment. Europe is out of the impasse. Thank you very much, Prime Minister."@en1
