"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Austrian Presidency, to whom we offer our best wishes, has many topics on which to reflect: the rejection of the European Constitution, now dead and departed, and the scepticism spreading among Europe’s peoples. We call on it to focus on a Europe of peoples and a Europe of regions. I have called for the city of Trieste to be considered the capital of the Europe of regions, since it is a city symbolising a Europe of different ethnic groups and of civilised coexistence among its various peoples. On the subject of people’s rights, I should like to mention the presence here outside Parliament of people from Istria, Dalmatia and Fiume. I wish to draw attention to the fact that their right to their property has again been trampled underfoot, even though the 1947 peace treaty provided for its protection. They are still here! Chancellor Schüssel, I shall give you a dossier on this long-standing and highly sensitive issue. Let us uphold people’s rights and not allow Europe to be a Europe of Brussels technocrats. The circumstances that have led to people’s scepticism are due to the predominance of that Europe of technocrats and banks, a Europe that hopes that Turkey will join and that the Bolkestein directive will be adopted. We are for a different Europe: a Europe of peoples and regions. The wise must provide a voice for this deep-held feeling."@en1
