"Mr President, the fact that we are welcoming the Spanish Prime Minister to our sitting today could mistakenly give the impression that we are still in the reflection period about the Constitution, as this series of discussions with prime ministers was set up for that purpose. Happily, however, that period is behind us and in the meantime we have agreement on a good Reform Treaty. Of course you are welcome here, Prime Minister, because it is now worth talking about the future of Europe. This is more the case now then ever, because the Treaty is not an end but a new beginning.
It is not an end in itself; it is an instrument that we must employ effectively and that offers us a perspective on a better administration, on more democracy, on the realisation of values such as freedom, security, prosperity and a further extension of our socio-market economy in an open and globalised world. You can take it from me, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, that these are the same goals that are pursued by many of the Belgian people in their desire for state reform. Although that is purely incidental, it is aimed at the realisation of the goals which we share here with so many people."@en1
