lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Madam President-in-Office, it does seem that Belgium has found an institutional solution to its diversity. It is a solution that you are pleased with and I welcome this. For those who are not directly involved, Belgium’s constitutional structure is of a complexity that pays tribute to the ingenuity of your public law specialists, but it is a solution which I would describe as bespoke. As you know, I support independence for Catalonia and I do not think this is a viable solution for Catalonia, for instance, within the Spanish State. The question I have, therefore, is very simple. Constitutional regions aside, although I recognise that these present some difficulties, could we not include, in the future European constitution, a right that, in my view, is elementary, which is the right to self-determination. Do the Catalan people not have the right to self-determination, will they not have the right, one day, to their own State within the European Union? Given that Slovenia will soon be a member of the EU, why should Catalonia not be a member as well?"@en1
