". In order to give EU citizens as few opportunities as possible to criticise or even object to the new version of the EU Constitution, it is being pushed through with a fast-track procedure. The citizens, though, will rumble us straight away if we try to convince them that this is a new document, even though most of the substance remains the same and only the packaging has changed. At the same time as we talk about a new Treaty, we are also assured that no new referenda will be needed. Quite the opposite is true. This approach will not bring the EU of the citizens any closer, nor will the fact that more competences have been handed over to Brussels, that we have wasted another chance to define our borders and that we have failed to apply the brakes in our negotiations with Turkey. We need a federal Europe, in which the sovereign population can again exercise more of its participation rights. Only then will we really be on a viable route forward; everything else is just the pipe dreams of an isolated EU elite. This is why I voted against the report."@en1
