It's the first day in which I have the responsibilities for which I have been appointed to and at 10 o'clock in the morning, that is an hour after I went into my office, I came here. And I came here to see my old friends Romano Prodi, Chris Patten with whom I have worked in many other capacities in my life. I think it is a symbolic meeting on my first day to talk about something which is basic for European construction and to have real common security policy and I have told Romano and Chris that I will be open to work in the most effective manner for a common cause which is to give to the European Union what we want - this dimension of a more effecient common foreign security policy. And for that I think we can offer our cooperation and hope that in a short period of time, we will be working physically together on this fascinating responsibility that we have."
