lpv:translated text	". Current European legislation is a patchwork of stand-alone treaties, regulations and directives, alongside a separate constitutional rights charter without a clear status. Some of the allocation of responsibilities to the EU appears rather indiscriminate and goes further than is the case in federal states. Furthermore, some of the presumed responsibilities of the Member States are, in practice, exercised by federal states, often boasting their own language and culture, and with the ambition of becoming a fully-fledged Member State of the EU themselves. It is therefore justifiable, for the benefit of the public at large, to map out what has been decided in the past, what the intention was of these decisions and whether these can work in a coherent and acceptable manner. Unfortunately, Mr Lamassoure wants a great deal more than what his clear instruction manual stipulates with regard to democracy. What he refers to as 'diplomatic instrument', he would like to replace by a constitution for a European superstore. Is this an attempt to lay down the outcome of the Convention on Europe's future before the event, or an instruction to vote for the MEPs who form part of this Convention? If that is the case, this is a premature and non-transparent exercise which does not receive my support."@en1
