SOUNDBITE (Italian), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, We are here today because we want to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the signature of the Treaties being close to the citizens. We want to demonstrate that the European Parliament is shortening up the distance between the institutions and the people and this is the best occasion; we are all here, there's been total unanimity among all political families of the EP in favor of this action today, that's why I think that this is a great day of solidarity from the EP, demonstrating that we want to be also physically close to the citizens.
