lpv:translated text	"We have before us an important occasion to make a more efficient and democratic union out of the European Union. The new treaty will offer the necessary tools so that the European Union will keep progressing after more citizens have now joined in its midst. We have a unique opportunity, and together we must see that the necessary compromises that guarantee a better future for European citizens are now found. Several people have mentioned Poland and England and their opt-outs. Yes, it is important that everyone keeps national interests present, but it is more important that we keep European Union interests present because we all form of the European Union. This applies not only for the Council, but also particularly for the European Parliament. I do not agree that there should be a particular European Union for certain European citizens and a different European Union for certain European citizens in another country. We must therefore use this opportunity that we will have in the coming days in Portugal to send a clear signal to our citizens that the European Union is not stagnated, and with the new treaty we will guarantee that we will continue to move forward. We guarantee that after long and difficult years of continuous debate about the future of Europe, we would have found the way of agreement that will lead us to continue to attain more success. A treaty that should ensure more transparency and as has been said more efficiency. A Treaty that should help us strengthen the voice of every European citizen. I note with pleasure that even my country, which I represent, will increase its strength in this Parliament. The European Union is facing important challenges that we must face as soon as possible. We must compete in this globalised world and therefore we should have the necessary targets to meet these challenges, challenges like climate change, immigration, how to create more work and better conditions for our workers. We can meet these challenges only if we have a more efficient and transparent European Union."@en1
