lpv:translated text	"The Nice Summit concluded on Sunday with an agreement that should lead to a draft treaty. Everyone today agrees that this Treaty will be mediocre and that it will fall considerably short of the expectations of the European Parliament and of “true” Europeans! The debates in Parliament have made this quite clear. Without wishing to deny some positive points of progress that were made, it would be no exaggeration to say that the Treaty of Nice will not guarantee Europe’s institutional and political future. Should the blame for this be laid at the door of the French Presidency? I say, quite clearly, ‘NO’! That would be too simple! The mediocrity of the Nice conclusions is the sad outcome of the lack of European ambitions of ALL the Member States, and of the stubborn defence of their “private domains” and their last illusions of power. Given these circumstances, the absence of “great European voices” did the rest and that is why I think that the Nice agreement is a lesser evil and certainly the “least bad” outcome that could have been achieved in this context. We must now focus on the results that have been achieved and, above all, rely on the commitments that have been given in order to relaunch European ambition whatever the draft treaty may be and the future that the European Parliament has in store for it. We still have a few months to work on this until the end of 2003 in order to save the European project. Today I voted in favour of the resolution. Tomorrow we will have to fight, bringing together all the supporters of a political and social Europe and a Europe that exists for its citizens!"@en1
