lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I think that Commissioner Wallström prefers hockey to cricket, and I am bound to agree with her in this respect. If I am to be honest, Plan D seems to have more to do with a democratic deficit than with democracy, and more to do with a lack of dialogue than with dialogue. There is superficial discussion rather than real debate. The European Commission, which emphasises that Plan D is not an operation to save the European Constitution, reminds me of the Soviet agency TASS, which always denied that disasters occurred in the Soviet Union or that poverty existed. What you are doing, in fact, is comparing apparent actions so as to ride out the storm for a while and hold out until the Constitution is accepted, almost certainly in an unadulterated form, in just a few years. If the Commission really and truly wanted to introduce a real Plan D, its first decision would be to call for constitutional referenda in the countries where the European Constitution was adopted by parliamentary decree, frequently by acclamation. Only four out of a dozen or so countries have so far held referenda. Two of these countries ratified the Constitution, whereas two rejected it. This reflects the real debate taking place in society and the lack of a real debate within the structures of the European Union. Let the European Commission finally stop resembling a Chinese opera chorus, which sings ‘Let us flee, let us flee’ for three whole acts, but does not budge an inch. Commissioner Wallström has the opportunity to play a more significant role than that of the conductor of this chorus."@en1
