lpv:translated text	". While appreciating what Olivier Duhamel has achieved, I abstained from the final vote because I think the debate on a European Constitution is premature. While desirable in itself, a constitution of this kind could only be adopted as the crowning touch to far-reaching institutional reform. A constitution would be meaningful only if it formed the democratic framework for a genuine European federation, a United States of Europe. So long as the EU remains no more than a sum of nation states that practise only a limited form of solidarity, limited in budgetary terms to a ceiling of 1.27% of Europe’s gross domestic product, any attempt to “constitutionalise” the existing Treaties is nothing more than a headlong rush into politically dodgy territory."@en1
