lpv:translated text	"Mr Prodi, I am not speaking on behalf of any political group or any delegation. I speak for myself and all those of us who share certain opinions. Certain opinions which we could sum up in the following way: firstly, we know that Europe has been built on the basis of two forces for construction which are dialectically opposed: those who, aware of the weight of history, defend the survival and validity of the national State and those who, with greater courage, imagine a future with greater integration, whose political definition we still do not know, and this is perhaps one of the advantages of construction. Mr Prodi, I speak on behalf of all those who share your principles, who share your programme, who share the idea that Europe must establish a new order of peace, prosperity and stability and that Europe must show and (courage, ambition and vision). And in their name, Mr President, I understand that we must respect the essential equilibrium laid down in the Treaty. In this respect, for example, we must respect the Commission’s right to initiative. And, of course, we must ensure that the Treaties, the legislative texts and the activities of the institutions are more in line with the demands of society. And society demands something else – you said it yourself, Mr Prodi – it demands realism and demands that we are in closer contact with that society. Therefore, all I can do is, in the name of those I speak for, underline the commitment that, at the Intergovernmental Conference, we will carry out the fundamental reform which the citizens demand, the importance of which they have demonstrated through their low turn-out in the elections. The texts and our attitudes should be brought into line with today’s society, but we should not lose that which has been the key to the vault of Community construction. Mr President Prodi, good luck with next Commission which, with no doubt whatsoever, will be voted in tomorrow."@en1
