lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I wish to add own my congratulations to the Slovenian Presidency. However, the fact is that the Europe of 27 cannot be taken hostage by a minority. The ratification process should continue. First of all, though, we should agree on a common message and ratification procedure among the Member States so as not to repeat cases such as these. How can we explain the Lisbon Treaty to our citizens? The most important thing is that political leadership will provide a personal example. Perhaps our citizens are tired of sophisticated routine compromises between short-term national interests and EU principles, and these may cause frustration and confusion. The case of abandoning sanctions against Cuba, with no return in terms of human rights progress, was just one example. The message we should send to our citizens today is not one of ‘what Europe can do for us’ but first of all ‘what I can do for Europe’."@en1
