lpv:translated text	"The Treaty of Lisbon, which is 96 per cent identical to the draft Constitutional Treaty, was rejected by the referendum in Ireland. Prior to that, the draft Constitutional Treaty was rejected in referendums in France and the Netherlands. The majority in this Parliament refuses to acknowledge its political losses. This is an outrageous crime against democratic principles and an equally outrageous example of the arrogance of power that characterises cooperation in the EU. Mr Brok’s report praises the Convention that produced a draft Constitutional Treaty. This Convention has been heavily criticised for having been entirely undemocratic and controlled from the top by its chairman Giscard d’Estaing. In my opinion, Mr Brok’s report should have come to the conclusion that, for as long as the political debates of representative democracy are focused on the elections to the national parliaments, it should be the national parliaments that are the highest decision-making bodies within the Union – not the European Parliament. I have voted against the report."@en1
