lpv:translated text	"I cannot support the European draft Constitution for several reasons. I object to the trend towards a European state and recommend continued intergovernmental cooperation. I cannot support proposals for increased military cooperation, which I consider to be a national issue. A new state requires a constitution, a common currency, a common court of justice and a common defence. To recommend, in addition, a common President, foreign minister and finance minister and remove the right of veto on important issues is to move further down the road towards creating a state. Such a fundamental change to the direction taken by the EU should be placed before the people of Europe in referendums. The members of the Convention, who have certainly done a sterling job, have not been elected democratically either, and the forms of decision-making within the Convention, in which no votes were taken, in themselves give rise to strong objections."@en1
