lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I have only one thing to say in response to the President of the Commission’s speech: bravo! We know that things are not going well and it is better to admit it openly. The negotiating side of things has hitherto proved disappointing and yielded negative results: to our knowledge, on not one point in the total 75 cases of unanimous voting has total agreement been reached, and in Italy, for the first time, a recent survey has shown that, in one of the largest regions, the North East, Europe is falling out of favour. The truth is that Europe resembles an aeroplane taking off: either it accelerates and keeps rising upwards or it falls to the ground. And so, President, you who bear the greater responsibility, forge ahead right to the very end. You are committed, as are we, to absolute coherence, but there are two things which have to be done: firstly, you must make it clear immediately that, if Nice is a failure, there will be an internal crisis which may well involve resignations from the Commission, if necessary, and secondly, you must make it just as clear that enlargement is impossible without prior thorough reform. Europe is in danger of being defeated by compromises, not crises. When such crises are triggered by opposing views they are healthy."@en1
