H.E. Mr. Gergely Bánhegyi:

I will say just a few words. I thank the Cathaoirleach and members very much. It was an honour to be with them and present the priorities of the Hungarian Presidency. I thank everyone for their comments, remarks and questions. It is the same challenge for every member state to live up the expectations of an ambitious Presidency programme. I am thankful for the highlighting of the position of honest broker. As I mentioned, the Hungarian Government is committed to this, of course. The Hungarian Government would also like to use this semester, as it is reflected in the Presidency programme, to draw attention the challenges the European Union is facing and to try to find common, long-term solutions. It is basically the same for all Presidencies somehow. I believe the Hungarian Presidency will do its homework, do its job and fulfil its commitments, just as most other Presidencies have done. We are very much looking forward to doing it and very much hoping for strong co-operation among member states and with the institutions for a bright future for the European Union.
