lpv:translated text	". This report embodies a number of contradictions. The most obvious of these is that Parliament is in favour of opening up the IGC but only in order to ensure that it achieves nothing. Overall, the majority does appear to be highly satisfied with the results achieved by the Convention, but cannot deny that the major and recurring problems, such as a lack of democracy, transparency and effectiveness have still not been resolved. As regards the detail, every proposal contradicts the commitment to diversity and to respect for democracy, because attempts are still being made to impose a uniform and binding supranational law. The (CPNT) Members of the European Parliament’s Group for a Europe of Democracies and Diversities (EDD) feel that the Convention’s method makes the same mistake that besets all diplomatic negotiations. The decision was taken within a circle consisting of a chosen few, which seeks to impose its point of view, as has been the case since the beginnings of Community integration. The only aspect of the draft drawn up by the Committee on Constitutional Affairs was the last paragraph, which consented to seek the citizens’ by referendum in the States whose constitution allows this. It is to this test of truth that the proposals on the future of Europe must really be subject, by allowing a genuinely open debate on which everyone can take a stance."@en1
