lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as President Prodi will remember, the Italian Radicals voted against his appointment last year. I do not know whether we would have done so, Mr Prodi, had you given then the speech which you have delivered today before the European Parliament. You have highlighted – and I applaud you for this – all the shortcomings of the process of European integration which have hitherto come to light and the implications for Nice if the method and spirit which, sadly, have pervaded recent Intergovernmental Conferences continue to prevail. Mr Barón Crespo was right to remind us that you were one of the signatories of the Treaty of Amsterdam, which established the position of Mr CFSP, and I would add to this that your government was one of the staunchest advocates of creating the new position held by Mr Solana which, despite his personal qualities, is highly irregular in legal terms. This is why your condemnation today of the intergovernmental method, which Parliament has never ceased to view as one of the principle causes of Europe’s impotence at both internal and international level, is even more welcome. If we continue with this method, President Moscovici, enlargement will not come about and, in Nice, you will at best be able to start all over again – you could even try holding another Intergovernmental Conference. President Prodi, as other speakers have already said, the Commission needs to firmly reassert its role as the driving force behind European integration, and today, you have set down the broad guidelines for this. Continue in this vein, speak out loud and clear at Biarritz and at Nice, draw on the wise, sensible positions adopted by the European Parliament on this matter, and this House will certainly not fail to lend you its full support."@en1
