Madam President, I would like to start by saying how moved I was by the response to President Prodi's important speech and that I fully support the consensus expressed by Parliament. Mr Prodi dealt thoroughly with issues which are very important to the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, of which I have the honour of being the Chairman.
Señora Presidenta, en primer lugar, quisiera que usted me permitiera decir lo mucho que comparto - y lo hago con cierta emoción - el consenso que nuestro Parlamento ha expresado sobre la importante declaración del Presidente Prodi que recoge muy en especial temas que preocupan muy profundamente a la Comisión de Asuntos Constitucionales que tengo el honor de presidir.
