"Mr President, as a member of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs I greatly regret that today’s discussion has been dominated by military jargon. There has been talk of the ‘fight for the Constitution’, and of the need to win the ‘battle for the Constitution’. It should be remembered that wherever there is a battle there are enemies. Yet there are enough divisions in Europe and the European Union without now creating new ones by using military jargon reminiscent of the Cold War.
My question to Mr Barrot and Mr Nicolaï is this: do you really believe that the idea of holding constitutional referendums in Europe on one single day, an idea which to my mind is quite impracticable, is a feasible one? This would after all amount to propaganda and imposing happiness on nations by force. Mr President, if this must take place on a single day, I would like to propose 30 February."@en1
