Professor Tsatsos has interesting, valuable, progressive views on the constitutional venture of the European Union. If these views had passed into the report and the motion which he drafted together with his colleague Mr Gil-Robles, I believe I would have voted for it. However, there prevails in the motion a concept of rounded corners, of compromise at any cost and of a ‘realism’ which is completely devoid of the democratic spirit of the articles written by the Greek rapporteur.
Unfortunately, the European Parliament is thus behind even the European Commission on top institutional issues, such as, for example, the number or the role of the commissioners or the presidency of the Council. Thus, despite the useful ideas in the motion on issues such as the role of the European Parliament and the national parliaments, the development of social policy or referenda, I abstained from the final vote."@en1
