"Mr President, Mr Tusk, when the Prime Minister of Poland is in the Chamber, even though one is in political opposition to him, his presence is a source of hope. This House needs hope, Mr Tusk, and I do very much want you not to allow yourself to be misled by the compliments which you have heard. It is good that you have heard them – everyone likes to hear them. In recent months, however, this House has been dominated by pessimism. There has been talk here of the crisis, of closing borders, of reducing integration. We expect new and big ideas from you, and we want you to talk about important matters, such as the demographic crisis, the crisis of values, the crisis in the family, and about the fact that we need to adopt a different approach to the Neighbourhood Policy and put forward a new idea, perhaps a University of the Eastern Partnership. Please talk about this, Mr Tusk.
Please use these compliments and turn them into good, new ideas, so that the vision of Europe will really be given substance, and then we will all be pleased. I wish you every success – success for you personally – and it is my hope, irrespective of who begins and who ends this Presidency, that Poland will make the best use of its all-too-brief opportunity. If we meet in this Chamber in six months’ time, I hope we will be able to say that the Polish Presidency did not end just with compliments and that at least in part, you have been able to overcome the pessimism which dominates this House."@en1
