".
In voting in favour of the report and point 8 thereof, the majority in Parliament has just recognised and welcomed the mandate from the European Council to the IGC and the fact that it ‘safeguards much of the substance of the Constitutional Treaty’
Despite a massive campaign to conceal the true scope and objectives of the mandate, it is becoming increasingly clear that in ‘this big change’ everything has remained the same, that is to say, the aim is to circumvent the legitimate rejection of the so-called Constitutional Treaty by the people of France and the Netherlands, and to prevent the people of every Member State from freely expressing their views on a ‘new’ Treaty.
The majority in Parliament would like to go even further. It regrets the loss of certain important points that had been agreed during the 2004 IGC, and states its ‘firm resolve to put forward, after the 2009 elections, new proposals on a further constitutional settlement for the Union’.
We wish to state once again that it is time to listen to the demands of the people, to strengthen democracy, to commit ourselves to a fairer Europe, to social progress and to a better distribution of income. It is time to respect the principle of sovereign States with equal rights, to strengthen cooperation and solidarity at international level and to make a firm commitment to peace."@en1
