"Mr President, the members of the Dutch delegation of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) wish you every success.
Mr Langen has to see to it that his team beats Spain this evening, but he will not succeed in this. Mr President, this must not be deducted from my speaking time.
We wish you every success. The problems are well-known. We both have difficult elections behind us. You are outgoing Prime Minister, but you are not letting yourself be thrown off balance. I mean, you are from West Flanders and I am from North Brabant. We have sand and we have clay, and those from the sandy region are more persistent.
There are two things I should like to ask you. The first concerns the tempo. The European Union is too sluggish compared to Brazil, China and India. We need to step up the pace, but we need to do so within the Community method.
My second question concerns the 2011 budgetary discussions. All Member States must tighten their belts. Europe cannot be spending on a massive scale, so we have to make better use of the same money."@en1
