It is my privilege to introduce Ms Nathalie Nicaud, an outstanding soprano with a brilliant voice and international career, who will interpret the "Ode To Joy" of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. It is a rare privilege to begin a day's work under such harmonious and melodious conditions. Ladies and gentlemen, President José-Manuel Barroso will open this conference. The past weeks have underlined the importance for the Union of having such a forward-looking, committed and driven leader at the helm of our institution. Mr President, we are all very grateful that you have taken the time out of their busy agenda to be with us today. President Barroso's intervention will be followed by Mrs Doris Pack, the Chair of Parliament's Committee on Culture and Education. As you all know, Mrs Pack is one of the most distinguished Members of the European Parliament, holding many 6 prestigious awards for her parliamentary work in the fields of education, culture and youth. Mrs Pack, this is also an occasion to express my warm gratitude to you and the European Parliament for having allowed us to organise this Global Jean Monnet Conference in your premises. It is another example of the outstanding cooperation between our two institutions. Of course, the European Parliament has always been closely associated with the Jean Monnet Programme and its Conferences. This link is personified by Professor José-Maria Gil-Robles who, as former President of the European Parliament and current President of the Former Members Association, also chairs the European University Council for the Jean Monnet Action. Sir, I thank you very much for your continuing commitment to the Jean Monnet Programme. Ladies and gentlemen, As we can see here today, the Jean Monnet and European Community Studies Association networks are truly word-wide multipliers of excellence in the study and knowledge about the European Union. In this prestigious room of the European Parliament, Ambassadors, diplomats and Jean Monnet Professors from all continents have come together for a real exercise of intercultural dialogue on the European Union's future after the Treaty of Lisbon. The quality of the people gathered here reflects the quality and the pertinence of the Jean Monnet Programme. And this brings us to our next point: the presentation of the Jean Monnet Prize 2010. For this part of our agenda, I am glad to give the floor to Mrs Vassiliou, Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth. Mrs Vassiliou, let me add how glad we are in the Directorate General for Education and Culture to work under the guidance of such an eminent Commissioner. 7 I.
