"Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot say that the Treaty of Lisbon is the best that each Member State of the EU-27 could wish for, but it is the best that could be agreed on by the EU-27. Until now all treaties have been treaties of the EU-15 and I would therefore like to underline the political message of the Treaty of Lisbon, which puts the EU-27 on the starting line so that in future we will finally stop dividing the EU into old and new Member States. The European Parliament has shown that it is capable of taking operational decisions and it is therefore right that the Treaty of Lisbon should give more power to the Parliament, in other words to the elected representatives of Europe’s citizens. If the Treaty of Lisbon comes into force in all EU Member States it will bring about changes which include an end to the current system of rotating presidencies in the Council. On a far more important note, the EU will have a common energy policy, which was shown to be necessary particularly in the gas crisis. I welcome today’s decision of the Czech Senate approving the Treaty of Lisbon. It is a very important signal from the Czech Parliament to the EU during the Czech Presidency."@en1
