My congratulations, Mr President-in-Office, for making this issue topical once again without rejecting social cohesion and values which we hold to be fundamental, because they are not only at the heart of the founding project of the EU, but they are at the heart of our civilisation and, above all, of our understanding of the need for solidarity between all Europeans.
Tillykke, hr. formand, fordi dette spørgsmål igen bliver dagens emne uden at fornægte den sociale samhørighed og de værdier, der for os er fundamentale, fordi de ikke blot er grundlaget for EU's projekt, men også grundlaget for vores civilisation og frem for alt for vores opfattelse af, i hvilket omfang alle europæere skal vise solidaritet med hinanden.
