lpv:translated text	"This week we heard the first political cry of the new-born Europe. By staunchly and speedily denouncing the participation of Jörg Haider’s xenophobic and anti-European party in the Austrian government, a situation without precedent since the second world war, the European Union has come into its political birthright and has confirmed that it is not merely an economic and financial Community, a large market, a “Europe of shopkeepers”. It is a part of its future which is at stake right now, part of its very essence, its heart and soul. The European Parliament was the first to speak up. The appeal by the European Socialists, on the initiative of Olivier Duhamel, raised awareness and enabled there to be a firm and immediate political response to this unheard of and intolerable situation. A firm attitude which the 14 European States have demonstrated unanimously and promptly, through Mr Guterres, by condemning the risk of the Austrian political situation getting out of control. This courageous stance turns a new page in the construction of Europe. A return to the roots, at last, for a Community built on the basis of the determination to turn our backs on a past history marred by hatred and exclusion and of adherence to the humanist values of openness and tolerance. Europe has managed to stand up to condemn unacceptable events. However, as it lacks the legal instruments to support this political will, since the sanctions stipulated under Article 7 of the Treaties are virtually impossible to apply, will it be able to keep its head high in the face of the threat of the systematic blocking of its entire institutional structure? The whole credibility of Europe is at stake today, before we invite the recent and still vulnerable democracies of the former eastern bloc to join us tomorrow. From now on Europe must put its words into action if it wishes to show the world the scope of its rediscovered ambition."@en1
