"Mr President, I would like to congratulate the President of the Commission on the good team spirit and control he has in his cabinet because it seems they have to have colour-coordinated ties. I think that is very good – it shows that they have things under control!
This European Council is about three things. I thought that the Socialists were against product placement, and I can tell Mia De Vits that this summit is not about Volkswagen, it is about three things: enlargement; the Constitution; and justice and home affairs.
What do I think the key message for enlargement should be? It should be threefold: first, we need to continue our commitment to enlargement. If we get that into the conclusions I think it is a success. Second, I think that integration capacity should be defined but it should not be a condition for enlargement. If you get that through, I think it would be very good. Third, I think we need a little more public debate on enlargement and, certainly, on public defence. Right now, we have a political leadership in many countries that first takes a decision on enlargement and, right after it has done that, starts blaming enlargement for all the bad that we have in the world. I do not think that is the right way to go about it.
Second, the Constitution. As a former civil servant, I understand the necessity for confidential consultations. Nevertheless, it would be nice if you could throw some light on what those consultations would lead to. I would also like to thank the Finnish Presidency and Finland for ratifying the Constitution. I think that was a very important step and an important gesture. There is a lot of debate about the Constitution right now. I, personally, am against the idea of a mini-treaty. I would like to have a ‘treaty plus’ – in other words a second edition of the Treaty. If we achieve that in 2008 or 2009 I think that would be quite good.
Finally, justice and home affairs. I am sick and tired of hearing people say that we cannot advance on this thing because of the Constitution. No – we decided in Amsterdam to move to qualified majority voting, we reinforced that in Nice and we did it with the Constitution. If we have the political will – and this goes straight to the German Government – we can move to qualified majority voting in all justice and home affairs questions.
I would like to congratulate the Finnish Presidency for a job very well done."@en4

"Hr. formand! Jeg vil gerne lykønske Kommissionens formand med den gode holdånd og kontrol, han har i sit kabinet, fordi de ser ud til at have koordineret farven på deres slips. Det synes jeg er virkelig godt - det viser, at de har tingene under kontrol!
Dette møde i Det Europæiske Råd drejer sig om tre ting. Jeg troede, at socialisterne var imod produktplacering, og jeg kan fortælle Mia De Vits, at dette topmøde ikke handler om Volkswagen, det handler om tre ting: udvidelsen, forfatningen samt retlige og indre anliggender.
Hvad tror jeg, at det centrale budskab bliver vedrørende udvidelsen? Det skal bestå af tre ting: For det første skal vi holde fast i vores engagement i udvidelsen. Hvis vi kan få det med i konklusionerne, er det efter min mening en succes. For det andet mener jeg, at integrationskapaciteten skal defineres, men ikke være nogen betingelse for udvidelsen. Hvis De kan få det igennem, vil det efter min mening være rigtig godt. For det tredje mener jeg, at vi har brug for lidt mere offentlig debat om udvidelsen og bestemt om forsvaret af befolkningen. I øjeblikket har vi en politisk ledelse i mange lande, der først tager en beslutning om udvidelsen, og så lige efter begynder at skyde skylden for alle verdens fortrædeligheder på udvidelsen. Jeg mener ikke, at det er den rigtige måde at gøre tingene på.
For det andet, forfatningen. Som tidligere embedsmand forstår jeg behovet for fortrolige samtaler. Ikke desto mindre ville det være rart, hvis De kunne kaste lidt lys over, hvad disse samtaler kan føre til. Jeg vil også gerne takke det finske formandskab og Finland for at have ratificeret forfatningen. Det var efter min mening et meget vigtigt skridt og en vigtig gestus. Der er meget diskussion om forfatningen lige nu. Personlig er jeg modstander af tanken om en mini-traktat. Jeg vil gerne have en "traktat plus" - med andre ord en ny udgave af traktaten. Hvis vi opnår det i 2008 eller 2009, vil det efter min mening være ganske godt.
Endelig retlige og indre anliggender. Jeg er led og ked af at høre folk sige, at vi ikke kan komme videre med dette emne på grund af forfatningen. Nej, vi besluttede i Amsterdam, at vi skulle gå over til afstemninger med kvalificeret flertal, vi forstærkede det i Nice, og vi gjorde det med forfatningen. Hvis vi har den politiske vilje - og det siger jeg direkte til den tyske regering - kan vi gå over til afstemninger med kvalificeret flertal inden for alle spørgsmål vedrørende retlige og indre anliggender.
Jeg vil gerne lykønske det finske formandskab med et veludført stykke arbejde."@da2
"Herr Präsident! Ich möchte dem Kommissionspräsidenten zu dem guten Teamgeist und der Kontrolle in seinem Kabinett gratulieren, da die Kommissionsmitglieder offenbar farblich aufeinander abgestimmte Krawatten tragen müssen. Das halte ich für sehr gut – es zeigt, dass sie die Dinge unter Kontrolle haben!
Bei diesem Europäischen Rat geht es um drei Dinge. Ich dachte, dass die Sozialdemokraten Produktplatzierungen ablehnen, und ich kann Mia de Vits sagen, dass es bei diesem Gipfel nicht um Volkswagen, sondern um drei Dinge geht: die Erweiterung, die Verfassung und Justiz und Inneres.
Wie sollte meines Erachtens die Schlüsselbotschaft für die Erweiterung lauten? Sie sollte dreierlei umfassen: Erstens müssen wir unser Engagement für die Erweiterung fortsetzen. Wenn wir das in die Schlussfolgerungen einbringen können, ist das meiner Ansicht nach ein Erfolg. Zweitens bin ich der Meinung, dass die Integrationsfähigkeit definiert werden, aber keine Bedingung für die Erweiterung sein sollte. Wenn Sie das erreichen, wäre es hervorragend. Drittens denke ich, dass wir eine etwas umfassendere öffentliche Diskussion der Erweiterung und sicherlich nicht der öffentlichen Verteidigung brauchen. Gerade jetzt haben wir in vielen Ländern eine Regierung, die zuerst eine Entscheidung zur Erweiterung fällt und gleich danach der Erweiterung die Schuld für alles Schlechte in der Welt gibt. Das ist meines Erachtens nicht der richtige Weg.
Zweitens, die Verfassung. Als ehemaliger Beamter weiß ich um die Notwendigkeit vertraulicher Anhörungen. Dennoch wäre es schön, wenn Sie ein wenig Aufschluss darüber geben könnten, wozu diese Anhörungen führen werden. Ich danke dem finnischen Ratsvorsitz und Finnland auch für die Ratifizierung der Verfassung. Dies halte ich für einen sehr bedeutenden Schritt und eine wichtige Geste. Momentan wird viel über die Verfassung gesprochen. Ich persönlich bin gegen die Idee eines Minivertrags. Ich hätte lieber einen „Vertrag plus“ – also eine zweite Ausgabe des Vertrags. Wenn wir das 2008 oder 2009 erreichen, wäre es ziemlich gut.
Zu guter Letzt, Justiz und Inneres. Ich kann es nicht mehr hören, dass wir hier angeblich wegen der Verfassung nicht weitermachen können. Nein – wir haben in Amsterdam beschlossen, zur Beschlussfassung mit qualifizierter Mehrheit überzugehen, das in Nizza bekräftigt und es mit der Verfassung verwirklicht. Wenn wir den politischen Willen haben – und dies gilt der deutschen Regierung –, können wir in allen Fragen im Bereich Justiz und Inneres zur Beschlussfassung mit qualifizierter Mehrheit übergehen.
Ich möchte dem finnischen Ratsvorsitz zu seiner hervorragenden Arbeit gratulieren."@de9
"Κύριε Πρόεδρε, θέλω να συγχαρώ τον Πρόεδρο της Επιτροπής για το θαυμάσιο ομαδικό πνεύμα και τον έλεγχο που ασκεί στο σώμα των Επιτρόπων, διότι φαίνεται ότι έχουν συνδυάσει τα χρώματα των γραβατών τους. Αυτό, νομίζω, είναι πολύ καλό – δείχνει ότι ελέγχουν την κατάσταση!
Αυτό το Ευρωπαϊκό Συμβούλιο αφορά τρία θέματα. Νόμιζα ότι οι Σοσιαλιστές τάσσονται κατά της γκρίζας διαφήμισης, και μπορώ να πω στη Mia De Vits ότι αυτή η διάσκεψη κορυφής δεν αφορά τη Volkswagen, αλλά τα εξής τρία θέματα: τη διεύρυνση, το Σύνταγμα και τη δικαιοσύνη και τις εσωτερικές υποθέσεις.
Ποιο πρέπει να είναι, κατά τη γνώμη μου, το βασικό μήνυμα όσον αφορά τη διεύρυνση; Πρέπει να περιλαμβάνει τρεις πτυχές: πρώτον, πρέπει να παραμείνουμε προσηλωμένοι στον στόχο της διεύρυνσης. Αν αυτό περιληφθεί στα συμπεράσματα, θεωρώ ότι θα πρόκειται για επιτυχία. Δεύτερον, θεωρώ ότι πρέπει μεν να οριστεί η ικανότητα ένταξης, αλλά δεν πρέπει να αποτελεί προϋπόθεση για τη διεύρυνση. Αν αυτό επιτευχθεί, νομίζω ότι θα είναι πολύ θετικό. Τρίτον, θεωρώ ότι απαιτείται περισσότερος δημόσιος διάλογος για τη διεύρυνση και, βεβαίως, η δημόσια υπεράσπισή της. Σήμερα, η πολιτική ηγεσία πολλών χωρών πρώτα αποφασίζει για τη διεύρυνση και, αμέσως μετά, αρχίζει να αποδίδει στη διεύρυνση ό,τι άσχημο συμβαίνει στον κόσμο. Αυτή η πρακτική δεν νομίζω ότι είναι ιδιαιτέρως εποικοδομητική.
Δεύτερον, το Σύνταγμα. Ως πρώην δημόσιος υπάλληλος, κατανοώ την αναγκαιότητα των εμπιστευτικών διαβουλεύσεων. Παρόλα αυτά, θα ήταν χρήσιμο αν μπορούσατε να διαφωτίσετε το κοινό σχετικά με το πού μπορεί να μας οδηγήσουν αυτές οι διαβουλεύσεις. Θέλω επίσης να ευχαριστήσω τη φινλανδική Προεδρία και τη Φινλανδία για την επικύρωση του Συντάγματος. Πρόκειται, κατά τη γνώμη μου, για πολύ σημαντικό βήμα και σημαντική χειρονομία. Διεξάγονται πολλές συζητήσεις αυτήν την περίοδο σχετικά με το Σύνταγμα. Προσωπικά, τάσσομαι κατά μιας «μίνι συνθήκης». Θα προτιμούσα μια «συνθήκη συν» – με άλλα λόγια, μια δεύτερη έκδοση της Συνθήκης. Αν το καταφέρουμε το 2008 ή το 2009, νομίζω ότι θα είναι πολύ θετικό.
Τέλος, όσον αφορά τη δικαιοσύνη και τις εσωτερικές υποθέσεις, έχω βαρεθεί να ακούω το επιχείρημα ότι δεν μπορούμε να σημειώσουμε πρόοδο σε αυτόν τον τομέα λόγω του Συντάγματος. Όχι – στο Άμστερνταμ συμφωνήσαμε να προχωρήσουμε στην εφαρμογή της αρχής της ειδικής πλειοψηφίας, ενισχύσαμε αυτήν την αρχή με τη Συνθήκη της Νίκαιας, και το ίδιο συνέβη με το Σύνταγμα. Αν διαθέτουμε την πολιτική βούληση –και αναφέρομαι ευθέως στη γερμανική κυβέρνηση– μπορούμε να εφαρμόσουμε την ειδική πλειοψηφία σε όλα τα θέματα δικαιοσύνης και εσωτερικών υποθέσεων.
Θέλω να συγχαρώ τη φινλανδική Προεδρία για την εξαιρετική εκτέλεση των καθηκόντων της."@el10
"Señor Presidente, quisiera felicitar al Presidente de la Comisión por el espíritu de equipo y el control que tiene sobre su gabinete, porque al parecer todos llevan corbatas de colores coordinados. Me parece muy bien, pues muestra que tienen todo controlado.
El Consejo Europeo abordará tres cuestiones. Yo creía que los socialistas estaban en contra de la colocación de productos, y puedo decir a Mia de Vits que este Consejo Europeo no va hablar de Volkswagen, sino de tres temas: la ampliación, la Constitución y la justicia y asuntos de interior.
¿Cuál debe ser, en mi opinión, el principal mensaje en materia de ampliación? Yo diría que debería ser triple: en primer lugar, debemos mantener nuestro compromiso con la ampliación. Si ello figura en las conclusiones, me parece que será un éxito. En segundo lugar, creo que es necesario definir la capacidad de integración, pero que no debe ser una condición para la ampliación. Sería muy positivo si lográramos imponer esta idea. En tercer lugar, creo que es necesario un mayor debate público sobre l ampliación y, sin duda, sobre defensa pública. En estos momentos, los líderes políticos de muchos países toman primero una decisión sobre la ampliación e inmediatamente después comienzan a culpar a esta de todos los males del mundo. No creo que esta sea la manera de hacer las cosas.
Segundo tema, la Constitución. Como he sido funcionario público entiendo que es necesario evacuar consultas confidenciales. Sin embargo, sería conveniente que se arrojase alguna luz sobre la meta que persiguen dichas consultas. Me gustaría igualmente dar las gracias a la Presidencia finlandesa y a Finlandia por haber ratificado la Constitución. Me parece que es un paso y un gesto muy importantes. Actualmente, la Constitución es objeto de amplio debate. Personalmente estoy en contra de la idea de un minitratado. Me gustaría un «tratado plus»; en otras palabras, una segunda edición del Tratado. Creo que sería muy positivo que lo lográramos en 2008 y 2009.
Por último, la justicia y los asuntos de interior. Estoy harto de que se diga que no podemos avanzar en este ámbito debido a la Constitución. No es así; en el Tratado de Amsterdam decidimos pasar a las votaciones por mayoría cualificada, reforzamos esta transición en el Tratado de Niza y lo hicimos en la Constitución. Si tenemos la voluntad política –y estas palabras están dirigidas directamente al Gobierno alemán–, podemos adoptar la votación por mayoría cualificada para todas las cuestiones de justicia y asuntos de interior.
Quiero felicitar a la Presidencia finlandesa por la gran labor que ha realizado."@es20

"Arvoisa puhemies, haluan onnitella komission puheenjohtajaa erinomaisesta joukkuehengestä ja siitä, kuinka hyvä ote hänellä on kabinetistaan – kaikilla kun näyttää olevan jopa samanväriset solmiot. Se on hyvä asia ja osoittaa, että kabinetillanne on niin sanotusti homma hanskassa!
Tässä Eurooppa-neuvostossa on kyse kolmesta asiasta. Luulin sosialistien vastustavan tuotesijoittelua ja voin todeta jäsen De Vitsille, ettei tässä huippukokouksessa ole kyse Volkswagenista vaan kolmesta asiasta: laajentumisesta, perustuslaista sekä oikeus- ja sisäasioista.
Mikä pitäisi mielestäni olla laajentumista koskeva avainsanoma? Sen pitäisi olla mielestäni kolmitahoinen: ensinnäkin meidän on pidettävä kiinni omasta laajentumista koskevasta sitoumuksestamme. Minusta olisi erinomaista, jos tämä saataisiin sisällytettyä päätelmiin. Toiseksi katson, ettei meidän pidä määritellä, kykeneekö EU ottamaan uusia jäseniä, sillä sen ei edes pitäisi olla laajentumisen edellytyksenä. Pitäisin erittäin hyvänä asiana, jos saisitte tämänkin läpi. Kolmanneksi katson, että meidän on käytävä enemmän julkista keskustelua laajentumisesta – ja varmastikin myös yleisestä puolustuksesta. Meillä on parhaillaan monissa maissa poliittinen johto, joka päättää ensin laajentumisesta ja alkaa heti tämän päätöksen tehtyään syyttää laajentumista kaikesta maailman pahuudesta. Tämä ei ole mielestäni oikea tapa hoitaa asiaa.
Seuraavaksi puhun perustuslaista. Entisenä valtion virkamiehenä ymmärrän, miksi kuulemisten on oltava luottamuksellisia. Olisi kuitenkin mukavaa, jos voisitte valottaa hieman, mihin näiden kuulemisten olisi tarkoitus johtaa. Haluan myös kiittää puheenjohtajavaltio Suomea ja Suomen eduskuntaa perustuslain ratifioimisesta. Katson tämän olevan hyvin tärkeä askel ja merkittävä ele. Perustuslaista käydään juuri nyt paljon keskustelua. Vastustan henkilökohtaisesti ajatusta minisopimuksesta. Haluaisin mieluummin "plus-sopimuksen" eli toisen version sopimuksesta. Olisi hyvä, jos saisimme sellaisen aikaan vuoden 2008 tai 2009 aikana.
Lopuksi puhun oikeus- ja sisäasioista. Olen saanut tarpeekseni siitä, että ihmiset sanovat, ettemme voi edetä näissä asioissa perustuslain vuoksi. Asia ei ole näin. Päätimme Amsterdamissa siirtyä määräenemmistöpäätöksiin, vahvistimme tämän Nizzassa ja kirjasimme sen myös perustuslakiin. Jos meillä on poliittista tahtoa – ja tämä huomautus on osoitettu suoraan Saksan hallitukselle – voimme alkaa tehdä määräenemmistöpäätöksiä kaikissa oikeus- ja sisäasioihin kuuluvissa kysymyksissä.
Haluan kiittää puheenjohtajavaltio Suomea erittäin hyvästä työstä."@fi7
"Monsieur le Président, je voudrais féliciter le président de la Commission pour l’excellent esprit d’équipe qui règne dans son cabinet et le contrôle qu’il exerce sur ce dernier. En effet, j’ai l’impression qu’ils se sont tous mis d’accord pour la couleur de leurs cravates. Il s’agit là selon moi d’un très bon point, qui prouve qu’ils ont les choses bien en main!
Ce Conseil européen concerne trois points. Je pensais que les socialistes étaient opposés au placement de produits, et je peux dire à Mia De Vits que ce sommet ne portera pas sur Volkswagen, mais bien sur trois autres sujets: l’élargissement, la Constitution, et la justice et les affaires intérieures.
Quel devrait être, selon moi, le message clé pour l’élargissement? Il devrait être triple: premièrement, nous devons poursuivre notre engagement en matière d’élargissement. Si nous parvenons à inclure cette obligation dans les conclusions, nous aurons en partie gagné. Deuxièmement, je pense que la capacité d’intégration doit certes être définie, sans pour autant être posée comme condition à l’élargissement. Ce serait une très bonne chose de parvenir à ériger cela en principe. Troisièmement, je pense qu’il convient de requérir un peu plus la participation de l’opinion publique au débat sur l’élargissement et, en particulier, sur la défense publique. À l’heure actuelle, de nombreux pays sont dirigés par des personnes qui disent tout de suite oui à l’élargissement pour, juste après, l’accuser de tous les maux qui accablent notre planète. Je ne pense pas qu’il s’agisse de la bonne manière de procéder.
Deuxième point: la Constitution. En tant qu’ancien fonctionnaire, j’ai conscience de la nécessité de mener des consultations confidentielles. Néanmoins, j’apprécierais que vous nous éclairiez un peu sur les résultats possibles de ces consultations. Je tiens également à remercier la présidence finlandaise et la Finlande pour avoir ratifié la Constitution, un pas essentiel et un geste important selon moi. À l’heure actuelle, le débat sur la Constitution fait rage. Personnellement, je ne suis pas favorable à l’idée d’un minitraité. Je préférerais un «traité plus», autrement dit une deuxième édition du Traité. Si nous y arrivons en 2008 ou 2009, je pense que nous pourrons être contents de nous.
Passons, pour terminer, à la justice et aux affaires intérieures. Je suis fatigué d’entendre dire autour de moi que la Constitution empêche tout progrès en la matière. C’est faux. Nous avons décidé à Amsterdam de passer au vote à la majorité qualifiée, décision que nous avons renforcée à Nice et matérialisée grâce à la Constitution. Si nous avons la volonté politique - et cette remarque s’adresse directement au gouvernement allemand -, nous pourrons adopter le vote à la majorité qualifiée pour tout ce qui touche à la justice et aux affaires intérieures.
Je tiens également à féliciter la présidence finlandaise pour le travail remarquable qu’elle a accompli."@fr8

"Signor Presidente, vorrei congratularmi con il Presidente della Commissione per l’ottimo spirito di squadra e il controllo sul suo gabinetto, perché a quanto pare sono tenuti a coordinare il colore della cravatta. Mi pare un’ottima cosa: è segno che hanno il controllo della situazione!
Questo Consiglio europeo riguarda tre questioni. Pensavo che i socialisti fossero contrari alla pubblicità mediante inserimento di prodotti, e posso dire all’onorevole Mia De Vits che il Vertice non riguarda la
bensì tre questioni: l’allargamento, la Costituzione e infine giustizia e affari interni.
Quale dev’essere secondo me il messaggio fondamentale per l’allargamento? Dev’essere triplice: innanzi tutto, dobbiamo ribadire il nostro impegno in favore dell’allargamento. Se lo espliciteremo nelle conclusioni, a mio avviso i risultati saranno eccellenti. In secondo luogo, penso che la capacità d’integrazione vada definita, ma che non debba rappresentare una condizione per l’allargamento. Se si facesse passare quest’idea, penso sarebbe un’ottima cosa. In terzo luogo, ritengo sia necessario un po’ più di dibattito pubblico sull’allargamento e, naturalmente, sulla difesa pubblica. Proprio ora in molti paesi abbiamo una
politica che prima prende una decisione sull’allargamento e subito dopo comincia ad imputargli tutti i mali del mondo. Non penso sia il modo giusto di affrontare la cosa.
In secondo luogo, la Costituzione. In qualità di ex funzionario pubblico, comprendo la necessità delle consultazioni segrete. Ciononostante, sarebbe apprezzato ricevere lumi in merito agli esiti di tali consultazioni. Vorrei inoltre ringraziare la Presidenza finlandese e la Finlandia per aver ratificato la Costituzione. Penso sia stato un passo molto importante e un gesto significativo. Si discute molto della Costituzione in questo momento. Personalmente sono contrario all’idea di un minitrattato. Vorrei un “Trattato più”, cioè una seconda edizione del Trattato. Sarebbe alquanto positivo se riuscissimo a realizzarlo nel 2008 o nel 2009.
In conclusione, giustizia e affari interni. Sono davvero stanco di sentir dire che non possiamo andare avanti al riguardo per via della Costituzione. No – ad Amsterdam abbiamo deciso di passare al voto a maggioranza qualificata, abbiamo rafforzato questo concetto a Nizza e l’abbiamo fatto con la Costituzione. Se abbiamo la volontà politica – e qui mi rivolgo direttamente al governo tedesco – possiamo passare al voto a maggioranza qualificata in tutte le questioni di giustizia e affari interni.
Vorrei congratularmi con la Presidenza finlandese per l’ottimo lavoro svolto."@it12

Nevertheless, it would be nice if you could throw some light on what those consultations would lead to. I would also like to thank the Finnish Presidency and Finland for ratifying the Constitution. I think that was a very important step and an important gesture. There is a lot of debate about the Constitution right now. I, personally, am against the idea of a mini-treaty. I would like to have a ‘treaty plus’ – in other words a second edition of the Treaty. If we achieve that in 2008 or 2009 I think that would be quite good.
Finally, justice and home affairs. I am sick and tired of hearing people say that we cannot advance on this thing because of the Constitution. No – we decided in Amsterdam to move to qualified majority voting, we reinforced that in Nice and we did it with the Constitution. If we have the political will – and this goes straight to the German Government – we can move to qualified majority voting in all justice and home affairs questions.
I would like to congratulate the Finnish Presidency for a job very well done."@lv13

This European Council is about three things. I thought that the Socialists were against product placement, and I can tell Mia De Vits that this summit is not about Volkswagen, it is about three things: enlargement; the Constitution; and justice and home affairs.
What do I think the key message for enlargement should be? It should be threefold: first, we need to continue our commitment to enlargement. If we get that into the conclusions I think it is a success. Second, I think that integration capacity should be defined but it should not be a condition for enlargement. If you get that through, I think it would be very good. Third, I think we need a little more public debate on enlargement and, certainly, on public defence. Right now, we have a political leadership in many countries that first takes a decision on enlargement and, right after it has done that, starts blaming enlargement for all the bad that we have in the world. I do not think that is the right way to go about it.

"Mijnheer de Voorzitter, ik wil de voorzitter van de Commissie gelukwensen met de goede teamgeest en met de controle die hij heeft over zijn team. Het lijkt er namelijk op dat de Commissie goed functioneert omdat de onderlinge banden op de juiste manier gesmeed zijn. Ik vind dit heel goed, want daaruit blijkt dat ze de zaken onder controle hebben!
De aankomende Raad gaat over drie dingen. Ik dacht dat de socialisten tegen sluikreclame waren en ik kan mevrouw Mia De Vits verzekeren dat deze top niet over Volkswagen gaat maar over drie zaken: uitbreiding, de Grondwet en justitie en binnenlandse zaken.
Wat zou volgens mij een sleutelrol moeten spelen bij de uitbreiding? Die rol zou drieledig moeten zijn. Ten eerste moeten we ons blijven inzetten voor de uitbreiding. Indien dat onderwerp in de conclusies terugkomt dan zijn we succesvol geweest. Ten tweede denk ik dat we het begrip integratievermogen moeten definiëren, omdat dit niet een voorwaarde voor uitbreiding mag zijn. Indien u daarin zou slagen dan zou dat uitstekend zijn. Ten derde denk ik dat we een meer publiek debat over integratie nodig hebben en zeker over defensie. Op dit moment neemt het politiek leiderschap in veel landen eerst een besluit over uitbreiding en vervolgens krijgt uitbreiding de schuld van alle narigheid in de wereld. Dat is naar mijn mening niet de juiste manier om daarmee om te gaan.
Vervolgens de Grondwet. Als voormalig ambtenaar erken ik de noodzaak van overleg achter gesloten deuren. Het zou desalniettemin fijn zijn indien u wat openheid zou kunnen geven over de uitkomsten van dat overleg. Ik wil tevens het Finse voorzitterschap en Finland hartelijk danken voor het ratificeren van de Grondwet. Ik denk dat dit een belangrijke stap was en een goed gebaar. Er is op dit moment veel debat over de Grondwet. Persoonlijk ben ik tegen een mini-verdrag. Ik zou voorstander een “maxi-verdrag” zijn, met andere woorden van een tweede versie van het Verdrag. Indien we dat in 2008 of 2009 zouden kunnen bereiken dan zou dat een behoorlijke prestatie zijn.
Tot slot, justitie en binnenlandse zaken. Ik ben doodmoe van alle geluiden van mensen die zeggen dat we zonder Grondwet niet verder komen op dat vlak. Nee, in Amsterdam hebben we besloten om tot stemming met gekwalificeerde meerderheid over te gaan, in Nice hebben we dat opnieuw benadrukt en we hebben dit toegepast met de Grondwet. Indien we de politieke wil hebben - en ik richt mij nu rechtstreeks tot het Duitse voorzitterschap - dan kunnen we overgaan op stemmingen met gekwalificeerde meerderheid bij alle kwesties op het gebied van justitie en binnenlandse zaken.
Ik wil het Finse voorzitterschap gelukwensen met het uitstekende resultaat."@nl3

"Senhor Presidente, quero felicitar o Senhor Presidente da Comissão pelo bom espírito de equipa manifestado e pelo controlo sobre a sua equipa, pois parece que as gravatas de cada um têm de ter cores coordenadas. Acho muitíssimo bem – demonstra que têm tudo sob controlo!
O Conselho Europeu tem a ver com três questões. Eu pensava que os socialistas eram contra a chamada colocação de produtos, mas posso dizer à senhora deputada Mia De Vits que esta cimeira não tem nada a ver com a Volkswagen, tem a ver com três aspectos: alargamento, Constituição e justiça e assuntos internos.
Qual, penso eu, deveria ser a mensagem central para o alargamento? Deveria ser tripartida: primeiro, temos de prosseguir o nosso compromisso em relação ao alargamento. Se conseguirmos passar este ponto para as conclusões, penso que será um êxito. Segundo, penso que a capacidade de integração deveria ser definida, mas não devia constituir uma condição para o alargamento. Se conseguirmos fazer prevalecer este ponto, penso que seria excelente. Terceiro, penso que precisamos de um pouco mais de debate público sobre o alargamento e, definitivamente, sobre a defesa. Neste momento, temos dirigentes políticos em muitos países que, primeiro, tomam uma decisão sobre o alargamento e, depois de o terem feito começam a culpar o alargamento por todas as coisas más do mundo. Penso que esta não é a forma correcta de abordar a questão.
Em segundo lugar, a Constituição. Na qualidade de antigo funcionário público, compreendo a necessidade de consultas confidenciais. Seria, no entanto, interessante lançar alguma luz sobre o ponto aonde tais consultas conduziriam. Gostaria igualmente de agradecer à Presidência finlandesa e à Finlândia pelo facto de terem ratificado a Constituição. Penso que foi um passo muito importante e um gesto que merece consideração. Neste momento, existe muito debate em torno da Constituição. Pessoalmente, sou contra a ideia de um mini-tratado. Gostaria de ter um “maxi-tratado” – por outras palavras, uma segunda edição do Tratado. Se o conseguirmos em 2008 ou 2009, penso que seria muito bom.
Por último, a justiça e os assuntos internos. Estou absolutamente farto de ouvir dizer que não podemos avançar neste domínio por causa da Constituição. Mas não – no Tratado de Amesterdão decidimos avançar para a votação por maioria qualificada, reforçámos esse ponto em Nice e concretizámo-lo com a Constituição. Se tivermos vontade política – mensagem directa para o Governo alemão – podemos avançar para a votação por maioria qualificada em todas as questões de justiça e assuntos internos.
Quero, portanto, felicitar a Presidência finlandesa por um trabalho muito bem feito."@pt17

"Herr talman! Jag vill gratulera kommissionens ordförande till den goda laganda och den goda kontroll han har i sitt kabinett, eftersom det verkar som att de måste ha matchande slipsar. Det är mycket bra för det bevisar att de har allting under kontroll!
Europeiska rådet handlar om tre saker. Jag trodde att socialisterna var emot produktplacering och jag kan berätta för Mia De Vits att det här mötet inte handlar om Volkswagen, det handlar om tre saker: utvidgning, konstitutionen samt rättsliga och inrikes frågor.
Vad anser jag då att nyckelmeddelandet för utvidgning bör vara? Det bör vara tredelat. För det första måste vi fortsätta vårt åtagande att utvidga. Om vi får in det i slutsatserna menar jag att vi har lyckats. För det andra tycker jag att integrationskapaciteten bör definieras, men det får inte vara ett villkor för utvidgning. Om ni får fram det anser jag att det skulle vara mycket bra. För det tredje anser jag att vi behöver lite mer offentlig debatt om utvidgning och inte minst om offentligt försvar. Just nu har vi i flera länder ett politiskt ledarskap som först beslutar om utvidgning för att direkt därefter börja skylla allt ont i världen på utvidgningen. Jag anser inte att det är rätt tillvägagångssätt.
För det andra, konstitutionen. Som gammal statstjänsteman förstår jag behovet av konfidentiella samråd, men det skulle vara trevligt om ni kunde berätta lite om vad de ska leda till. Jag vill också tacka det finländska ordförandeskapet och Finland för att man har ratificerat konstitutionen. Jag menar att det var ett mycket viktigt steg och en viktig gest. Det pågår många diskussioner om konstitutionen just nu. Personligen är jag emot idén om ett minifördrag. Jag vill ha ett ”utökat fördrag”, med andra ord en andra upplaga av fördraget. Om vi uppnår det till 2008 eller 2009 tror jag att det skulle vara mycket bra.
Slutligen rättsliga och inrikes frågor. Jag är utled på att höra folk säga att vi inte kan gå vidare i den här frågan på grund av konstitutionen. Nej! Vi bestämde oss i Amsterdam för att börja tillämpa omröstning med kvalificerad majoritet, vi stärkte det i Nice och vi gjorde det med konstitutionen. Om vi har den politiska viljan, och det här riktas direkt till den tyska regeringen, kan vi gå över till omröstning med kvalificerad majoritet inom alla frågor som rör rättsliga och inrikes frågor.
Jag vill gratulera det finländska ordförandeskapet till ett väl utfört arbete."@sv21
