lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Dehaene-report unmistakably has the advantage of clarity and testifies to creativity and vigour, to pragmatism and ambition. We do not have 101 recipes for making an Intergovernmental Conference’s work rapid and efficient. If there is a desire to avoid a new tour de force in legal high technology, an inextricable tangle, then one way or another it will always be necessary to refer back to the substance of this crystal-clear report. It does not have to be Mr Dehaene’s swansong. But if we fail to embrace the crucial importance of post-Amsterdam Treaty developments then we run the risk of rendering Europe powerless. The ball is now in the court of the Member States and the Commission. As far as we are concerned, and let this be made very clear, reforming the Union is, in any case, still a for enlargement. First deepening, and only then enlargement. After all, we should say “no” to a Europe that is becoming increasingly rich in members but increasingly impoverished in terms of support, efficiency and soul."@en1
