SOUNDBITE (English), Margaritis SCHINAS, vice president-designate, This is a very special moment for me. It is an emotional moment. Over the last 30 years on countless occasions, I have had the chance to see it in a number of committees and bodies of this institution. First as a junior official then as a manager and later as member of the European Parliament. But the magnitude of me sitting now in front of you as vice president designate seeking for your confidence and trust to implement a program for the next five years together with you is truly impressive  + illustrative shots
