"Allow me first of all to welcome Denmark as the new President of the EU. Filling this post of extraordinary responsibility for the seventh time now, your country has exceptional experience in this field, which also represents a guarantee. As we know, Europe is going through a very difficult period, and it is perhaps more important than ever for the EU-27 that the new Presidency is successful. Reading through your programme I was satisfied to note that you intend to take your future measures with a view to ensuring a responsible, dynamic, green and safe Europe. I believe that these values serve the development of the entire European region. A more responsible economic policy, the preservation of economic stability, the enhancement of growth, job creation, a more efficient use of renewable energy sources, examination of the issues of asylum policy – and the list could go on – are all current and pressing matters these days. Allow me to also make a few remarks in my own field of expertise, which includes industry, research and energy. I have to agree with the position that we must work on creating a more effective internal energy policy which would result in intensified competition between supply companies, which in turn would reduce consumer prices. Furthermore, it is important for the EU to not be completely vulnerable to countries with immense raw material reserves. I am convinced that the key to Europe’s future success lies in research and development, the creation of new technologies, and their practical application. We must support all initiatives that serve the successful achievement of these goals."@en1
