lpv:translated text	". At a time when we are discussing the Gothenburg European Council, a few days after the resounding ‘No’ in the Irish referendum on the Treaty of Nice, it is crucial that the European Union’s political leaders, including the governments of the various Member States, draw all the political consequences of this important decision. In a democracy, the results of a move such as this must be respected. We must, therefore, review the content of the amendments to the Treaty, which were adopted in Nice and not insist, which is what happened recently with the vote on the report co-signed by the socialist Member, António José Seguro, on speeding up the process of the federalist integration of the European Union. This would endanger various fundamental aspects of national sovereignty and the interests of the smaller countries. It is regrettable that, in Gothenburg, the opportunity of the Summit has not been taken to reflect on the need to review the current process of integration, which is neo-liberal, federalist and militarist, including the rather undemocratic methods that have been used. We must insist on a new direction, grounded in respect for cooperation between sovereign and equal States, in promoting peace, and in responding to people’s real needs. It is, therefore, essential that in Gothenburg we see progress on support for peace in the Middle East, on respect for the rights of the Palestinian people, on protecting the environment and on sustainable development. It is equally important that we adopt a clear stance towards George Bush – against his most aggressive positions, specifically with regard to the American anti-missile defence project and the death penalty and to demand that he respect the Kyoto commitments."@en1
