“I cannot but see in this a most meaningful step towards the desired goal of the integration of Europe. Millions of men and women directly and immediately participated in the election of their own representatives to the European Parliament so that Europe might proceed apace in affirming its consciousness of unity and solidarity; so that, as Mr. Suarez, the President of the Government, said in Strasbourg, "Europe will not continue to be the medium of national compromises, but rather the supranational result of common efforts and deliberations." 116. On 5 February last negotiations began for Spain's accession to the Communities.”

“New armed conflicts and hotbeds of tension have been added to those already in existence, while the technological abyss and the imbalances in development between the privileged and less-favoured peoples have done nothing but grow, and it has not been possible to reach an agreement to set in motion an effective machinery for the correction of these inequalities. 115. But in the disturbing international panorama which surrounds us we also observe some positive events which permit us to open the door to hope. Prominent among these is the momentum given to the European Communities which, leaving behind doubts and scepticism, have taken decisive steps towards enlargement and the consolidation of their institutions. For the first time in history, parliamentary elections transcending national boundaries have been held.”

“I am pleased to welcome to this Organization Saint Lucia, that most enchanting island, which captured the imagination of Spanish sailors and to whose people I wish to transmit today on behalf of my Government an expression of our will to consolidate those historical links with the most cordial relations of friendship and co-operation. 114. The year which has elapsed since I last addressed this Assembly has not been an easy one for anybody. The international economic crisis has relaxed neither in its causes nor in its effects; on the contrary, in many countries there has been growing unemployment, rising inflation, and continued economic stagnation.”

“Indalecio Lie'vano Aguirre, under whose wise and prudent guidance this Assembly was able during its last session to deal with many and very difficult questions. His presidency bore witness to the ancient culture and the modern vitality which distinguish his country, Colombia, and which do honour to all the peoples of Ibero- America. 112. I also wish to reaffirm my admiration for the work done by our Secretary-General, Mr. Kurt Waldheim, who, in the course of this last year, has given us an example of devotion to the Organization, placing his enthusiasm and his prudence, his skill and his tenacity at the service of the United Nations and of the cause of peace. 113.”

“This year we have the good fortune to have as President of the General Assembly Mr. Salim, a veteran of multilateral diplomacy who, in this Organization, has tried his skills with good fortune and effectiveness in the service of various causes, but especially in the noble endeavour of decolonization. In congratulating you most sincerely on your election, Mr. President, may I pay a tribute, through you, to a country, the United Republic of Tanzania, with whose noble people we have maintained excellent relations, as well as to a continent with which we are united, not only by geographical proximity, but also by historical links, common interests and the struggle for the legitimate causes of the African peoples, with respect to whom we have affirmed a growing will for understanding and co-operation. 111. My congratulations also go to Mr.”
