You will come into office at a crucial time, as Hungary and other member states need to act consistently to respond to the challenges of the economic crisis. The European Union has already showed unity and solidarity to help member states finding their way out of the crisis. Likewise, the adoption and implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy will be a priority for the near future, and we count on your commitment and support. I wish you every success in your work as Prime Minister and I look forward to working with you towards the successful implementation of our common European projects.”
