"Mr President, when I recently heard the Austrian Chancellor Mr Schüssel rightly say that one day all Member States of the European Union would vote on the European Constitution, the saying ‘better late than never’ came to mind. I am hoping that what he meant were referendums, rather than voting by national parliaments. I would note that in this House there are a number of Members who have been saying right from the start, or in other words for two years, that these referendums should be held on the same day. Unfortunately, where accepting the Constitution is concerned, there can be no doubt that the visit to Poland of Commissioner Wallström, who is present in the Chamber today, has not helped, as she reiterated that she is unable to imagine a situation where the preamble to the Constitution would mention Christian values. In my view compromise, which is the whole idea of the European Union, is not a word in the Commissioner’s vocabulary."@en1
