lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Dutch people have emphatically rejected the European Constitution. That is something that the European institutions would do well to recognise. The rejection of the Constitutional Treaty is primarily a rejection of the speed and direction of the European integration process. I fear that this lesson has not been learnt in Brussels, given the keenness with which reference is made to the impotence of national politics, the absolute lack of self-criticism and the pleas to continue the ratification process. At the Summit of 16 and 17 June, the Heads of Government must demonstrate that they have more of an understanding of the French and Dutch ‘no’ than many of my fellow Members. The surrounding the European Constitution requires adequate action. It is therefore incomprehensible that the political in Brussels should procrastinate and prefer the torture rack to the speedy advent of a new treaty. I am delighted that the voters have demonstrated a lack of confidence in a Europe that is defined indistinctly both in terms of geography and policy content, and which combines the unhealthy concentration of power with unrealistic political ambitions."@en1
