Grand Duke Congratulates Juncker

Today Jean-Claude Juncker was nominated for the position of the president of the European Commission by the European Union's heads of goverment. (Well, 25 of the 27 agreed to it.) Grand Duke Henri has congratulated Luxembourg's former Prime Minister on his nomination.
Monsieur le Ministre d’État honoraire,

C’est avec beaucoup de satisfaction que la Grande-Duchesse et moi-même avons appris la décision du Conseil européen de proposer votre candidature à la présidence de la Commission européenne. 

Je vous souhaite plein succès lors du vote d’investiture qui interviendra très prochainement au Parlement européen. Votre engagement et votre expérience incontestables constituent des atouts précieux dans l’accomplissement d’une tâche difficile mais essentielle pour le futur de l’Union européenne. 
 Translation by moi:
 Dear Honorary Minister of State,
It is with great pleasure that the Grand Duchess and I have learned of the decision of the European Council to propose your candidacy for the presidency of the European Commission.

I wish you every success for the upcoming election in the European Parliament. Your commitment and undeniable experience will be valuable assets for solving the difficult but essential tasks faced by the European Union.
