lpv:translated text	"Mr President, what must the next Intergovernmental Conference do? It must prepare the Union for a Europe of 27 Member States. Therefore, the wider the scope of institutional reform, the wider the scope of enlargement will be. What must it do? It must maintain the institutional equilibrium, which has allowed the advance of European construction over the last forty years. What must it mean? It must not mean new competences for the European Union. The Treaty of Amsterdam did this already. And neither should it mean changing the nature of the Union. In this context, I wish to say that the report carried out by Mr Dehaene is very correct in many areas, but it contains something that worries me very considerably. If we consider it in its entirety, Mr Dehaene’s report intends, on the one hand, to extend qualified majority voting and, at the same time, the constitutionalisation of the Treaties and their division into two parts, one subject to a very strict procedure, which requires unanimity for reform, and the other subject to majority voting. And to this add making strengthened cooperation more flexible. What worries me – I address this to the Commission, which has to carry out a report on it – is that the combination of these three factors – the extension of the qualified majority, the subjecting of legislation to differing types of revisions and making strengthened cooperation more flexible – leads to a Europe a Europe where every Member State chooses what it wants to be. And I wish to say, Mr President, that that is not the European Union which many of us have fought for and in which many of us believe."@en1
