lpv:translated text	". The power of symbols should not be underestimated. They can manifest the intangible and create identity. However, symbols can also have negative connotations; for example, the symbol of human DNA has developed into a symbol of genetic manipulation. ‘Manipulative’ is also the word that I would use to describe the EU’s present approach. In their referenda in 2005, the French and Dutch people rejected the EU Constitution, and yet in a classic case of EU obduracy, an attempt has now been made to give the whole project a fresh veneer by dropping the EU symbols and repackaging this failed but almost identical project as the Lisbon Treaty. If the EU persists in this attempt to revive the original Treaty by introducing just one real amendment, namely jettisoning the EU symbols, the EU will forfeit what remains of its credibility. This is a blatant attempt to mislead our citizens and so I rejected the report."@en1
