"Madam President, the Council does not have the courage to bury the Treaty. How can we talk of putting something off when it has already been killed off? There can be no resurrection for something that cannot be saved. The Council also lacks vision. Its President’s frankness only serves to show in stark relief the truth hidden from Europe by its governments. A prisoner of national egos, the Council has no political ambition of its own and tries to make omelettes without breaking eggs. With that shopkeeper mentality, we are doomed to fail. With the French vote, there is a before and an after. Either Europe wants to be purely a market or it endeavours to dig deeper and move forward by paying careful attention to the social reasons behind the referenda. Public opinion is the most significant new element to emerge from this crisis. This new player does not want less Europe, but, rather, more and better Europe. The answer is not to stop, but, rather, to have the courage to initiate a fresh, genuinely democratic, constitutional process; the answer is not to head down a cul-de-sac, but, rather, to have a Europe that is provided with its own resources and that is characterised by greater solidarity and a greater ability to combat unemployment."@en1
