"I am one of those people who think that things in Europe will no longer be the same as they were before the Irish ‘no’ vote. One thing we certainly cannot do is to ignore the outcome of the Irish referendum. I am also one of those people, however, who believe that we must continue with the ratification process; every Member State has the same right to express its opinion on the common future of Europe.
We need to solve this complicated puzzle on the one hand by listening to the voice of the Irish citizens, and on the other by giving due consideration to the position of all the other Member States that want to move ahead along the common European road.
The equation is a difficult one, and we need to grasp every opportunity for evaluation. For this, we need all 27 Member States. I believe that the 27 Member States must find a common solution and make a common decision regarding the next step.
As Commissioner Barroso said, ‘27 Member States signed the Treaty; we must make every effort to make sure that 27 Member States find a way forward’. We must find a solution, a way to break the deadlock."@en1
