European Parliament
President.
Mr Duisenberg, I am sure I speak for every Member in the House in wishing you all the best for the future. We can all recognise the fact that you are passing on a new but highly respected institution, a situation largely due to the contribution that you personally have made to the foundation of the European Central Bank.
We thank you very much for your presence today and for all the work you have done on behalf of all of us in Europe.
(Applause)
