lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Mr President of the Commission, this Europe has acted in the same way as it did at the time of the Balkan crisis and the Milosevic atrocities; in the same way as the Europe which, even today, has no position on the Middle East other than the short-sighted positions of each of its parties and factions. We failed, you failed to produce a Constitution, a Constitutional Treaty, because we are now experiencing a period of comeback from bureaucracy and false nationalistic hopes, which now carry the weight of new ideologies in this House. This is not the United States of Europe, the Europe of Altiero Spinelli, the Europe of Ernesto Rossi – the Europe conceived in prisons by unyielding federalists, liberals and democrats. This is not the Europe of Robert Schuman or Konrad Adenauer either. Mr Barón Crespo’s words on the subject are spot on. This is a Europe that disappointed Mr Pasqua somewhat, although he finds in Mr Chirac, today, the old, essentially anti-Europeanist, antifederalist position. You have paid, Prime Minister, for your pretence at arbitration. You treated the minor economic – but so very understandable – egotistical concerns of Spain and Poland equally, but then gave in to the constant, arrogant, nationalistic blackmail from France, which is used to being the only country to gain anything from Europe. It was time for France to start paying too, now, as we have all paid. Well, Prime Minister of Italy, you have certainly failed to remember, you have not put enough faith in those who, more in prison than on luxurious conferences, laid down for us the path set by Parliament in the period 1982-1984. We need to go back to that time, to the Europe of our Parliament, whose primary task must be to break free from its shackles. It is a symbol: we do not even have the power to decide where we should meet, when or how. We are forced to meet in Strasbourg. First and foremost, we must show an example to the Europeans. As Members of Parliament, we must decide on the location of our Chamber, in which we will debate the matters which concern us."@en1
