lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I will now proceed with the fifth instalment of my speech. For years the European Union held the belief that we needed a deeper Union before an enlarged Union. On many occasions the heads of state and government held forth that we needed to adapt the Union’s decision-making structures and mechanisms before the current wave of enlargement, or any subsequent enlargement. This was the objective of the Treaty of Nice, but the treaty failed to make any progress on the issue. In fact, it made the Council decision-making process more complicated. We therefore needed the European Convention. This should lead to a new treaty on the foundation of the Union, a European Constitution in other words. The signing of the Accession Treaties on 16 April will set enlargement in stone before the work on the Convention has been completed. Enlargement will go ahead when the situation of the institutions is still shrouded in uncertainty. This has been made even worse by the crisis in Iraq, which has shattered our aspirations for a common foreign and security policy."@en1
