"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Madam Vice-President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, the President-in-Office of the Council has said that, over the next two weeks, he has to negotiate a narrow corridor in order to reach an agreement at the European Council. I believe that it is actually a narrow street, because you are acting in public and, following the Convention, we cannot go back to deciding everything behind closed doors. This is a change that the European Council must take very much into account. Things must be done openly, under the scrutiny of the press and the Internet, and that is a message that I believe not just the Presidency of the Council, but also all of the governments, must bear very much in mind. Secondly, with regard to our proposal, we have not been as concise as the working group chaired by our dear friend Mr Amato. Our proposal is that Parts I and II produced by the Convention should not be touched, and I very much appreciated what you said about respecting the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Finally, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, with a view to producing a simplified Treaty, I would propose adding ‘ ’ to Europe’s motto of ‘united in diversity’. Why? Because this is a union of sovereign and equal States, and also of citizens; because we are all equal and no State or player can impose their will on the others and fraternity demands that we resolve the problems of others, but not at the expense of bringing the problem to our country. I believe that that proposal would also be accepted immediately by President Sarkozy, who has enthusiastically brought France back onto the European stage."@en1
