"Mr President, we all were deeply affected by the attack in Madrid, and I am very pleased that the European Council of last 25 March responded to it by anticipating the solidarity clause. Indeed, this principle of solidarity, above and beyond any procedures that can be discussed, must have unanimous support from us.
In addition, the Council has set 17 June as the deadline for the end of the negotiations on the draft of the European Constitution. This decision is less simple than it seems, because compromises on some essential points have still not yet been reached. Its intention, it seems, is above all to exert pressure on the recalcitrant countries. This decision also seems to have very little respect for universal suffrage. Indeed, whether the agreement will be announced after the European elections or whether it is achieved a fortnight before does not change much. In any case, the result is that there will be no time to organise a concrete debate. Once again, Mr President, this method speaks volumes about the sort of Europe that this Constitution heralds."@en1
