lpv:translated text	". Mr President, we are in a fairly extraordinary situation this afternoon, discussing a project which is devoid of substance in a forum which has no right to debate it. I will ignore the vacuity of the project, reform of the UN: when I first had the honour of serving my country in the UN, in 1992, the issue of UN reform was already under discussion. The story is old hat! The fact is that the UN is based on a Security Council which, in turn, is based on five permanent members, who have taken the UN as far as it could go – often for the better but sometimes for the worse. As for Europe, it is represented in the UN by non-permanent rotating members and by two major powers holding a right of veto, namely Great Britain and France. Moreover, no alternative architecture appears possible. However, that is not the worst aspect. This Parliament has no power to debate this subject, or even – as Mr Laschet has said in somewhat derisory fashion – to send messages to New York. That is absolutely meaningless. Our separatist French delegation will not take part in the vote tomorrow as a sign of protest against the determination of this Parliament to act as if it could encroach on the States’ prerogatives, and, worse still, to act as if there had been no referendum, or, in other words, as if the Constitution was not dead. I solemnly warn you against a collective abuse of power: we are behaving as if, one day, there could be a Constitution, or a common foreign and security policy, or a European foreign minister. These things will never happen! The people do not want them. And if you want to impose them by force, you would be basing the future development of Europe on a thereby rendering all our decisions illegal and eliciting an appropriate – and undoubtedly violent – response from our citizens."@en1
