lpv:translated text	". Including as it did the official presentation of the work of the Convention, the Thessaloniki Summit will obviously be remembered as a landmark European Council. As far as the Convention is concerned, the result is ambitious but not surprising. Set up in order to provide the European Union with a constitution, the Convention gives us, as indeed it should, a text clearly inspired by federalism. The question now is what will become of this text. Although this draft does not legally have any binding force on the participants in the next Intergovernmental Conference, it is to be feared that States will be under considerable political pressure to adopt this Constitution. If this proves to be the case, I hope that the national governments, which have exclusive rights to revise the Treaties, will resist the diktats of ultra-federal circles, and that they will prove to have the necessary authority to preserve their prerogatives. Moreover, whatever the outcome of the IGC, I hope that, in those Member States in which a referendum procedure exists, the new Treaty will be put directly to the people. That is a democratic requirement."@en1
