"Mr President, I, like many other Members, found it impossible to vote against the resolution arising from the Napolitano report, because the report, first of all, and then the resolution, are innovative texts with regard to the regional dimension. Unfortunately, numerous votes in plenary have damaged this remarkable work. Furthermore, as Mrs Berès pointed out so superbly, it is imprudent and dangerous to improvise at voting time by proposing, in plenary, the adoption of concepts which, as it happens, were neither discussed nor even raised in committee. Mr Méndez de Vigo replied that the concept of ‘people’ was outdated. That, in fact, is what the right has continually repeated in Europe over previous centuries and it is not convincing. Surprisingly enough, however, the text, which is presented as forward-looking, has the effect of strengthening the concept of States within the Union, which I am sure was the desired objective. That is why I abstained."@en1
