lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I recently said of the Tampere Summit that we ought not to strive for an unattainable utopia but rather we should set to work in a pragmatic manner on what the Tampere agenda had to offer in the way of concrete possibilities. Judging by the reports from the Summit and the Presidency’s findings, the Council has, I am pleased to say, followed this modus operandi. There has been criticism to the effect that the outcome has been indeterminate as far as asylum and immigration policy is concerned and some of my colleagues in the European Parliament would probably like Community legislation to be in place already. I believe that it is the very caution with which cooperation is being brought about that will have a major bearing on asylum and immigration policy receiving a broad spectrum of support. The outcome of the Tampere Summit is pervaded with a positive attitude that is clearly expressive of the desire for practical cooperation. Even Parliament seems to have been affected by the positive tone set by the Summit and has maintained this in its resolution. The fact that Parliament’s resolution contains any criticism at all can be put down to those who nurture the pipe dream of a federal Europe. I do not share this dream. What I do want is for the European Union to be one in which the Member States endeavour to draw closer together in those areas that have a European dimension. The Council took a positive step in this direction at Tampere."@en1
