".
Everyone interested is aware of the positions I have publicly held regarding the Treaty revision process, the work of the Convention and the legal and political scope of the conclusions of Intergovernmental Conference. They are duly expressed in this draft resolution and also in the draft resolution that my own Group presented on the Summit of Heads of State or Government within the IGC. They are the same reasons which, on the other hand, led me to oppose the compromise resolution which the parties of the centre in this Parliament presented on the same subject. In fact, I still believe that the European Union is a Union of States and that it is with them that responsibility for the final decision to be taken on this matter rests. It is not the European Parliament’s job to try out forms of political pressure that may hasten the approval of an unsatisfactory agreement, nor to allow the expression of veiled threats about the emergence of a variable-speed Europe, once again introducing unnecessary tensions into a process that requires maturity, responsibility and common sense in the difficult policies to be adopted."@en1
