lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, today, those in favour of Europe's enlargement and deepening have, or at least should have, one concern in common: how can the enlarged Europe be prevented from getting stuck; how can we prevent it from becoming a quagmire of indecision? Europe has always been a source of hope for its citizens; even the governments, regularly failing to solve problems, point to Europe as the place where solutions can be found. Today, however, Europe instils fear in people. Unemployment is rising and people fear that this will get worse after the enlargement. The Member States, whether they are large or small, cannot handle this problem on their own. Decisions need to be taken at European level in order to promote real economic recovery and a real increase in the level of employment. At the same time, the Member States must in that way provide an efficient answer to globalisation. That is why it is their plain and simple duty to ensure that a constitution is adopted. It is not difficult to explain to 14-year olds or 70-year-old pensioners that we need a constitution, so why is it so difficult for our Heads of Government to brace themselves to put this constitution into practice?"@en1
