lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I have taken the floor to express, first of all, my surprise at what the President-in-Office of the Council said about the Intergovernmental Conference: Mrs Halonen did not even mention the European Parliament’s resolution of 18 November and the proposals it contains on the agenda of the Conference. They are serious and justified proposals, not escapist flights of fancy or vain utopian desires. I do not think it is right to take this attitude towards an important stance adopted by Parliament. We already know everything about the three leftovers from Amsterdam: all that remains is to make the choices that were not made during the previous conference. We should take a year just to do this. May I say that it is ridiculous to uphold this. Take heed: if the Council, if the governments do not open up the agenda of the Helsinki Summit to essential institutional issues that are now more than ready to be addressed, the debate on enlargement will lack credibility and we will show ourselves incapable of having a far-sighted view of the development of all aspects of the Union. President Prodi, I do not understand what the preparatory work outside the Intergovernmental Conference you spoke of should be. You seemed to be entrusting to this strange forum some of the issues that were put forward here by the Commission on 10 November. I hope that you will keep all those Commission proposals on the agenda and the conference approach unchanged, and will contribute in this way to a positive outcome of the Helsinki Council."@en1
