". Mr President, the scant attention paid to the historical and religious roots of the Union, the unimaginative ‘cut and paste’ approach to inserting the Charter of Fundamental Rights into the Treaty without anyone having the opportunity to intervene on its contents, the non-existent or, at any rate, limited information that reached Europeans regarding the decisions being taken within the Convention and an enlargement process which, despite undoubtedly adding value to and enriching the whole of Europe, was presented to Europeans without an effective media campaign that explained the reasons behind the enlargement and the opportunities it offered to everyone, are only some of the reasons for the breakdown in the ratification process of a Treaty that should have been a fundamental part of a Union with which, even today, its own people sadly find it difficult to identify themselves. I am convinced that the improvements made to the Constitutional Treaty are necessary and, with this in mind, we hope that at the end of the reflection period we can embark on a new path that enables us to clarify today’s controversial issues in a more effective and intelligible manner. For that reason, we will be voting in favour of this resolution in the hope that, with the involvement of all the Community and national institutions and of the representatives of civil society and the academic world, we can quickly arrive at a new and perhaps simplified text, but one that is endowed with a common soul with which all Europeans can identify themselves."@en1
