lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I have been listening attentively and I thought I had heard it all, but when I heard Daniel Cohn-Bendit supporting nuclear power – albeit in Iran – I must say I was a little shocked. Who says that Joschka Fischer changed? I think ‘red Danny’ has changed a little himself! I will take an institutional perspective and make three points. The first is that CFSP and defence are key areas for us in the future. We are a superpower in trade and in aid, but we are very often nowhere to be seen in CFSP and defence. Something needs to be done and I disagree with Mr Piotrowski. The first thing we need is a constitution. The second point I wanted to make was that we need three things: firstly, we need a common defence – we need the security guarantees that the constitution would give us. Secondly, we need to speak with one voice. For that we need a President and a Foreign Minister. Thirdly, we need to increase the CFSP budget. All of those should be packaged into one. If we get some political will behind it, I think we just might get a common foreign and security policy. The third point is that we really need to start thinking about the different elements of the constitution and look at it in two parts. There are things that we are already implementing, such as the European Defence Agency, the battle groups and the clause on solidarity with terrorism. But there are things that we need to start implementing as quickly as possible when the constitution enters into force. Those issues include a President, a Foreign Minister, an external relations service and prior consultation with the European Parliament. The final point I wanted to make is that instead of sticking to the institutional battle between the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament in CFSP matters, we need to get ready, put our working clothes on and do it together."@en1
