Good morning, dear speaker, dear president Rosenkrantz. Ladies and gentlemen, it is truly a pleasure for me to be here today in this beautiful and historic space, a palace built not for royalty but for the people. As a parliamentarian, it is always a joy to speak in Europe's parliaments. They represent the fact that in our Europe, nation, every region, every person has an important role to play in our shared democracy. Our Europe is as much Budapest as it is Brussels or Strasbourg, Riga or Dublin.
It is not top down or bottom up, but a collaborative effort among parliamentary colleagues who are united in wanting a better future for their electorates, those who voted for them and those they represent. The European spirit of cooperation is what makes our union so unique because we know that Europe works best when it works together. The future of our shared continent does not lie exclusively in Europe or in the nation state, but in how much we can work together to improve the lives of Europeans everywhere, not separated by indivisible, invisible, and needless barriers, but cooperating with vision and ambition. And in this task, we all have a role to play. Whenever I speak to fellow parliamentarians from across our union, the same issues are raised.
I can tell you in the election that we ran for collectively as European parliamentarians, including colleagues from this country, from Hungary, the same issues were raised. People are worried about paying their bills, about affording a home, about finding a job. And whilst we all know that Europe is not one size fits all, we have shown again and again that by working together, we can build real solutions to the problems that we all face, of course, with full respect to the principle of subsidiarity. We cemented our parliaments as the engines of European democracy in the context of the Lisbon Treaty, one of the more important systemic reforms of our union. Now our task is to connect our efforts and fulfill our shared potential that is ultimately down to us, all of us.
And this is why these annual conferences are so crucial as are the various forms of inter parliamentary cooperation that we have jointly constructed as national parliaments, as the European parliament to enable these discussions, whether it is within framework like COSAC to conferences like the European Parliamentary Week. But to shape the Europe of tomorrow as is posited in the title of this session, our parliaments must go beyond simply participating in such formalized structures. We must work together side by side on a daily basis, deepening our cooperation rather than the opposite by exchanging best practices, by sharing lessons, by collaborating on shared challenges. And in an increasingly uncertain world, Europe cannot be in a position where we are disunited or uncoordinated. And that's why I'm glad to see parliamentary colleagues in so many familiar faces from across Europe as we look forward to our even closer cooperation in the future years.
