"Mr President, the report of Mr Lamassoure is indeed a very important contribution to the much needed clarification of our European legal framework. I can only echo what the rapporteur says about the position of the new players in the European game – the applicant countries and what he calls "regions with legislative powers".
The report decides to entrust the main guidelines to the Convention. But as long as every Member State sticks to its own selfish interests, the established rules will not permit stateless nations such as the Basque region to take part in the building of democratic structures. We know that, under the new decentralisation process for the French Republic, many things will change – even in the Basque region. However, much more will remain the same.
The most appropriate action at this time would be to pay attention to what the stateless nations are asking for; that is to say the right to exist in a political link to Europe where all peoples will be present as such.
The Convention ought to take this on board and include it in the final draft for 2003."@en1
