lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I want to wish the Italian Presidency every success. Taking place, as it is, at an extremely important time for the future of Europe, I want it to be harmonious and effective at one and the same time. I support what has already been voiced by a number of other speakers, namely the wish to allow a new constitutional treaty to see the light of day during this Presidency. Italy is a great European country. It is also a country of great Europeans, and I am sure that, faithful to this heritage, the President-in-Office of the Council, the President of the Commission and the Vice-President of the Convention will be very keen to agree upon essentials in order to give Europe a new face. This new Constitution that we shall adopt, I hope, by referendum will, as I see it, have one great virtue: that of finally existing. This fundamental text must, however, be a point of departure for a new Europe and not an end in itself. I also think that the next elections will be an opportunity for our fellow citizens to affirm their desire to go further in common European policies, whether it is a question of coordinating economic, budgetary, fiscal and social policies, of creating a Europe of defence and research or of defining a common foreign policy that can finally count for something in the world. That will be the next challenge for those who like this idea of a Europe that both unites and transcends us. The Italian Presidency will also have a great responsibility for making advances in the fields of education and culture. You will have to give further impetus to a Europe of knowledge, and I want us to be able to adopt the Erasmus Mundus programme as quickly as possible so that it might be put into effect no later than 2004. Finally, I would take the liberty of drawing your attention to the meeting of UNESCO’s General Assembly in October 2003, which should tackle the draft international convention on cultural diversity. It is more than desirable that the EU should adopt a clear and public position on this draft. In conclusion, I want to express the wish that this Italian Presidency might be informed by the spirit of the signatories of the Treaty of Rome."@en1
