"Mr President, having congratulated the Prime Minister of Luxembourg and the other members of the Presidency, I should like to comment on the two points which dominated the last meeting of the European Council.
Point one: procedure for ratifying the Constitution. The
entry into a period of rethinking is bringing to the surface creative material for institutional, political and strategic self-criticism.
My question to the Vice-President of the Commission is this: how does the Commission intend to address citizens' criticism about over-regulation and the excessive technicality of legislative proposals? Seriously, what has become of the White Paper on European governance?
My question to the President-in-Office of the Council is this: is there sufficient consultation of and information for civil society before and after the adoption of decisions by the Council?
My question to the President of the European Parliament is this: will the European Parliament be equal to its important role as a political body, as a forum for creative discussion of the stated will of the people, of the
?
The only way out of the constitutional and political crisis is to establish a permanent, transparent and democratic dialogue with civil society. If the constitutional crisis is not resolved by 2007, then we will need to move either towards a constitutional review or in the direction of 'Nice plus' or, finally, towards the option of reinforced cooperation.
Τhe second point refers to the financial perspectives: we are being called upon to realise that ambitious objectives require the necessary financial resources. Enlargement also requires enlarged resources. The restoration of the historic and political unity of Europe brings to the surface new definitions of cohesion policy, a policy which signals, as a horizontal principle for the old and new Member States, a Europe of stability, of solidarity and of social prosperity. It is to this eminent political position that the common agricultural policy aspires."@en1
