lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this debate is in the first place about the forthcoming European Council and I should like to focus on it, for in this moment of crisis, this European Council has a very important task, namely setting beacons, and the first beacon should be for Europe to continue to function and to carry out its task, not only internally, but also externally. I was delighted to hear President Barroso make reference to our duty in the area of development cooperation. The key marker will undoubtedly be when an agreement is reached about the financial perspectives, because that must provide the framework for Europe to function in the next few years. Much as I agree with Mr Cohn-Bendit that those financial resources will probably be too low to allow Europe to carry out its task properly, it does strike me as crucial that an agreement be first and foremost reached on those financial resources. Secondly, the European Council must also give an indication as to how we should progress from here, because the questions we raised in the Laeken Declaration remain unanswered as yet. We still have no framework for this enlarged Europe, Europe still has to provide an answer to globalisation and that answer can only be European. However, we should take into account the ‘no’ in two countries, but also the ‘yes’ in ten other countries. I think that when Mr Rasmussen says that ‘the European Council must provide clarity’, that this European Council is as yet unable to provide clarity in the short term, because the ‘no’ is far too diffuse for that. That is why I call for a period of reflection, but it has to be organised and limited in time. We need to decide clearly beforehand when conclusions will be drawn, and a year strikes me as an appropriate timeframe. Indeed, it would be best to suspend matters, but not indefinitely. It must be a defined period of reflection, clearly limited in time with a clearly specified time when conclusions will be drawn."@en1
