"Mr President, the recent Brok report argued that the EU as a whole should play a major role within the UN. The PPE-DE Group amendment to the report demanded that the EU should be guaranteed a seat in the UN Security Council. That word ‘guaranteed’ is incompatible with the UN High-level Panel’s view that no change in the composition of the Security Council should be regarded as permanent in the future. In both of the Panel’s proposed models for reform of the Security Council, the current permanent members would retain seats. That is not what the Eurofanatics want to hear. They want the EU to take over the seats of France and the UK. However, even Mr Brok’s report conceded that an increased role for the EU was pending the entry into force of the new Constitutional Treaty. The Constitution is dead; the EU has no legal personality; Europe is not a nation and the EU, therefore, has no place in the United Nations."@en1
