"Mr President, I voted against the Brok report and abstained on assent. This was not because I wish to close the doors to Europe against the 10 new entrants. They do indeed have a rightful place amongst us. Undeniably, this is their Europe too. I am, however, concerned about the structure of the European edifice they hope to enter. I wonder whether Europe will rise to the challenge of equipping itself with institutions strong enough to regulate the activities of 25 Member States, soon to be increased further. Such institutions must be open and understood by each and every citizen. In my opinion, only a constitution can guarantee this. I fear the current enlargement may be used to justify weakening. I am extremely concerned about sailing into the unknown through an institutional fog. My vote was intended to express this concern."@en1
