lpv:translated text	". The Convention, which was instructed to draw up the draft Constitution for a Europe of 25, published its report at the beginning of the summer. Although the lack of change on some issues is to be regretted – and is this not inevitable – on others, we can only welcome the progress made by the Convention. Promoting territorial cohesion is now one of the European Union’s main objectives and, as a Member of the European Parliament representing an overseas territory, I am bound to welcome this fact. Those who saw the work of the Convention as an opportunity to consign Article 299(2) of the EC Treaty, concerning the outermost regions to the dustbin were seriously misguided. The desire to see the content of this article feature in the future Constitution, is indeed legitimate but there was no guarantee that it would happen. I believe that this new development demonstrates the desire to build a Europe that is united in its diversity, a Europe that is willing to provide assistance, a Europe that cares about the development of all citizens and a Europe that provides itself with the legal means to achieve all this! This is what I have been fighting for, together with others and I am thinking in particular of Mrs Pervenche Berès and Mr Olivier Duhamel, who are both representatives of the French Socialist delegation to the Convention and I should like publicly to offer them my thanks."@en1
