"Mr President, the rejection of the Constitutional Treaty in the French and Dutch referendums (or referenda) has meant that the whole document is now no longer relevant. It is proving very hard for some people to come to terms with the disappearance of a concept that has been promoted for so many years. The common foreign and security policy was an important part of the aforementioned Treaty, but I would like to remind you it was rejected unequivocally. We are therefore amazed to note that efforts are being made to refer to a document that is entirely meaningless and as good as dead. Mr Brock’s report is an example of this approach. It makes a laughing stock of the House and tramples the democratic principles advocated by the European Community underfoot. The requisite period of reflection following the demise of this Treaty should not be devoted to getting specific chapters of the Constitution adopted through the back door. The time should be used instead to reassess common action at an international level and to place greater emphasis on the importance of issues such as energy security and the threats posed by epidemics and terrorism."@en1
