lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, I should like first of all to pay tribute to the determination of Mrs Merkel, who has made it possible for the imperative and immediate need for a genuine relaunch of the EU institutions to be included in the Berlin Declaration. I should also like to stress the importance of the contribution made by Nicolas Sarkozy to this debate, because even before he took on the role of President of the French Republic, he was the first to suggest the idea of a simplified treaty, which seems to be the most appropriate scenario for breaking the deadlock that we are in. Our Parliament must do everything it can to help the Member States to strengthen Europe’s capacity to take action with institutions that have the resources to meet the requirements of our fellow citizens in terms of effectiveness, democracy and consistency. The idea of a simplified treaty must meet the requirement for a document that is more compact and more accessible than the Constitutional Treaty. This simplification must not, however, under any circumstances be perceived as a renunciation or a stopgap solution. We want a consensus to emerge in favour of an ambitious and realistic solution aimed at rallying together all the Member States: the eighteen that said ‘Yes’, the two that said ‘No’ and all those that have not yet expressed an opinion on the draft European Constitution. Our challenge is not to come up with an ideal treaty, but to reach a compromise among the 27 so that Europe moves forward, as one and pragmatically, with the aim of breaking out of the current deadlock as quickly as possible. I hope that, during the European Council of 21 and 22 June, you will reach an agreement, Minister, with the Heads of State or Government establishing a precise mandate so that a swift intergovernmental conference, under the Portuguese Presidency, will draft a new treaty that will enable the Union to be strengthened and our fellow citizens to have more faith in the future of our continent. I am confident and optimistic because everyone, today, is well aware of his or her responsibility to find a way out of the stalemate that has had a negative impact on European integration as a whole."@en1
