lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the future of Europe is in its roots, and for us radicals these are represented by the Ventotene manifesto, which set out the need to achieve peace, democracy and prosperity by going beyond the dimensions of the nation state. Reforming Europe today means offering this project also to the peoples on the opposite shores of the Mediterranean, and affirming, for them too, the individual right to democracy through the accession of democratic states, starting with Turkey, but also with the prospect of Israel, Morocco and others. You spoke of being in the forefront, but for us only a refusal to close the doors of Europe will constitute being in the forefront. To make another point: we propose that whatever reform is to be made be subject to a referendum of the people of Europe as such. I am not speaking of national referendums, but a single referendum placed before the citizens of the European motherland, as against the neo-Gaullist Europe of national motherlands. To conclude, let us welcome an example of how we can, as a Union, be strong when we have faith in ourselves: the tabling of the resolution on the moratorium on capital punishment before the General Assembly taking place at the United Nations. Mr President, beware of the sabotage that some people are still attempting to wreak now. For example, look at the official communication by the General Affairs and External Relations Council, and the Council’s departments. After the last General Affairs and External Relations Council this means that sabotage is being attempted, Mr President, and we should try to prevent it."@en1
