"Mr President, I do not agree with the last observation by Mrs Berès. It is not a question of having an amendment passed. It is a question of reflecting, in relation to a text which is important in terms of the Convention, on something which is of great importance to this Parliament, which is the legitimacy, the double legitimacy, of the Union.
Mr Tsatsos and I, in our report on the Treaty of Amsterdam, speak of the double legitimacy of States and peoples. The concept of the people seems to us to be an archaic one. We want to talk of citizens, because we want to bring Europe closer to the citizens. I am not therefore withdrawing my amendment and I would ask that it be put to the vote. And I would also ask the Socialist Group to take on board that this is truly the modern way to act and not the old-fashioned one."@en1
