"Mr President, let me start by saying that we support President Barroso’s European ambition and his programme, and I say that on behalf of 28 Polish MEPs, if not more.
There is one thing in this programme, however, which is especially close to our hearts, and that is energy security. You know, President Barroso, that this House is very much attached to this issue. We need to revisit and reassess both the progress and the deficiencies in this process and to set priorities for the coming months and years.
The present situation is not satisfactory, but rather grey, because, in spite of all the declarations and apparent goodwill, the progress made in terms of energy infrastructure and crisis mechanisms is far from sufficient. The measures taken are not fulfilling all expectations and are still not satisfactory.
We obviously welcome the short-term measures set by the Commission and Presidency, but we expect a long-term vision and determination from the Commission President and, if necessary, for the President of the Commission to face or challenge the inertia and egoism of the Member States. We need a strong Commission and strong leadership from you because we need the Commission to act on behalf of the whole Union and in the interests of the Union’s citizens.
Let me emphasise that such leadership should be based on a consensus that you have to lead and build in the Parliament and Commission as well as in the Member States. As you know, this idea was launched here in Parliament three years ago, but there is still a long way to go and we still have to wait for this dream to come true.
I hope that by the end of this legislature, President Barroso, you will make this miracle happen and that you will be given the chance to do so.
In this expectation, we support your candidature and keep our fingers crossed for your Presidency."@en1
