lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the President-in-Office mentioned Baltasar Gracián in his speech and that reminded me that my compatriot used to say ‘if the good is brief’ then it is ‘twice as good’. I believe that one of our tasks in the European Council with regard to the Constitutional Treaty is, as Mrs Wallström has said, to produce an accessible, comprehensible and clear document. It is possible to do so. That has been demonstrated by the Action Committee for European Democracy, chaired by Giuliano Amato: 448 articles have been reduced to 71 articles, 67 000 words to 16 800. Brief therefore, but also good, as Gracián suggested. It is good because we are considering the content, and maintaining the essential content of the Constitutional Treaty. It is therefore possible to do so, Mr President. Judging from the tone of the speeches today in this Parliament, I believe that an enormous majority in this House – and the vote on the Barón/Brok report will demonstrate this – wants to maintain the essential content of the Constitutional Treaty. So please take the impetus provided by Parliament in that direction away with you today, Mr President-in-Office of the Council. Our friend and colleague, Mr Schulz, has talked today about physicists and the importance of physics. Back in the days when I worked in a different field, Mr President, I remember performing Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s ‘The Physicists’, and I played Isaac Newton. In the final speech, Newton said that scientific progress cannot be stopped and that we must not be fearful of the progress made. I believe that we must not be fearful of the progress contained in the Constitutional Treaty either."@en1
