"Mr President, on behalf of my Group, I would like to underline that we support this resolution very strongly. At the Intergovernmental Conference, different governments have already tabled many amendments to the draft Constitution. This is already creating the danger that the draft Constitution will unravel as different bits are taken away by different governments objecting to different points.
On top of that, sectoral councils
different Council formations with different sectoral ministers
are suddenly coming in with new proposals half-way through an IGC. These proposals focus on the particular sectors of the ministers involved, and do not take an overall view. This, for the first time, suggests that the budgetary powers of this Parliament should be
in comparison with their current status. We consider this to be an alarming and unacceptable way of proceeding. These positions were not staked out by any single government either at the beginning or end of the Convention, or at the beginning of the IGC. To have sectoral ministers suddenly, in the middle of the IGC, coming up with new points that were not even listed by their own governments as issues for discussion in the IGC represents a new threat and a new danger. That is why my Group as a whole vigorously supported the resolution that we have just adopted."@en1
