lpv:translated text	". There are four important observations to be made on the Portuguese presidency and the presidency's closing summit in Santa Maria da Feira: First, the European Union took another very dangerous step towards militarisation by pushing for an EU military and police force and by developing an Atlantic framework for it to work within. By contrast, no positive action was taken to promote peace, as the continuing quagmire in Yugoslavia illustrates. Secondly, it is clear from developments at the Intergovernmental Conference that we are moving towards a "two-speed Europe" rather than towards democratisation, as continual reference to "closer cooperation" and various proposals to reduce the weighting of small countries in both the Council and the Commission illustrate. Thirdly, the European Union, under pressure from the United Kingdom in particular, failed to reach a specific agreement and binding timetable on tax information, leaving tax havens free to operate within the Union. Fourthly, the Lisbon Summit, midway through the Portuguese presidency, gave another sign in favour of abandoning the European welfare model and changing to the American model."@en1
