lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Europe today is a continent defined by peace and democracy. This was not the case 70 years ago when Europe was at war. This was not the case 20 years ago, either, when Europe was divided into East and West. Our generation has a responsibility to manage our continent and preserve and strengthen an open and democratic Europe. Mr Barroso, you have a special responsibility. Europe needs clear leadership and an EU that is both visible and there for the people of Europe in hard times as well as good ones. We need a leadership that listens. You need to do more in this regard. I would like to see more of the commitment that we have seen today, more of the José Manuel Barroso that we have seen today. Tomorrow you will receive the support of the Liberal Party of Sweden – Cecilia Malmström’s party, not because we agree with you on everything, but because we believe that you can do more than you have shown us thus far. Here are some guiding principles for the continuation of your work. Protectionism is an abomination – even for a former Maoist. The strength of the EU lies in its open borders and free trade. Human rights apply to everyone, wherever they are. You need to do more in this regard. The economic crisis cries out for a global new order, with balanced regulations enabling us to deal with the climate crisis. Free Europe’s farmers and give consumers and the market a chance. The EU does not need more institutional power struggles. Preserve us from that fate! Europe has had enough of lame ducks. Mr Barroso, tomorrow, you will hopefully have the opportunity to establish a new Commission. I hope that you will then ensure that there are as many women as men in the new Commission."@en1
