"Mr President I will use the one minute of speaking time that we have been allotted to draw attention to the positive consequences – as everyone in this House knows – of the Irish people’s positive vote on the constitutional treaty. This vote will mean that, particularly in a committee like that on agriculture, as well as in this Parliament, in plenary, we will have codecision. Parliament will therefore be on an equal footing with the Council which, in democratic terms, obviously represents huge progress.
I would like to use this opportunity to point out that, since an overwhelming majority of our Irish friends said ‘yes’ today to the constitutional treaty and the Polish President – according to what the President of our Parliament said just now – is also about to sign the treaty, all that is needed is a ‘yes’ from the Czech President. I would therefore like all our fellow Members from different political groups to be able, within the context of our respective competences, to try to convey to their Czech counterparts the message that this treaty really must be signed, all the more so since the Czech Parliament has already said ‘yes’. All that is left for the President to do is to sign this parchment and thus take the democratic way forward in his country, so as to advance our democracy in Europe."@en1
