lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Madam President-in-Office of the Council, ladies and gentlemen, you will understand, of course, that those posing questions have scheduled this Question Time at a very strategic moment, namely a few hours, a few days away from the Council of Laeken. We would be delighted if you were to give us an idea of what will be discussed at that Council. Prime Minister Verhofstadt has toured the capital cities and paid a visit to Madrid yesterday. Madrid is a difficult customer in this regional issue. The Spanish Government has more or less made the fight against terrorism its number one priority. In Spain, defending the rights, the real rights of nations and regions is often considered as terrorism or part of terrorism, and this is of course unacceptable. This is not a European stance that we can accept. I would very specifically like to ask you whether the difficulties which the Spanish very often cause with regard to the representation in the Committee of the Regions have meanwhile been resolved and secondly, and whether they will indeed not be opposed to the concept of ‘constitutional region’ being mentioned in the Declaration of Laeken. I would be very obliged if you would look into this."@en1
