lpv:translated text	"It does not bode well for a successful conclusion to the Nice Summit. There is no satisfactory agreement in the offing yet. The increasingly open struggle for power between many Member States is clouding the view in terms of possible compromises. Quite a number of Member States, particularly the large ones, seem only to be interested in consolidating their own position of power in the future. The lion’s share of the tabled resolutions show that Parliament too has fallen prey to the temptation to regard the Nice Summit as largely successful because its own authority has been extended. I have no time for this attitude. An ambition for power alone is not enough to prepare the European Union for the future. The very first thing that is needed if we are to have a European Union in which the various nationalities can live peacefully together, is for the governments to seek a sustainable balance, in mutual respect and empathy. The institutions of the European Union must be in a position to fulfil their tasks without having to step into the shoes of the Member States. Now, and in the future too, each country must be able to truly show itself to best advantage in a Union based on justice. I believe that is a crucial criterion by which to judge the Treaty of Nice. Unfortunately though, I do not see any evidence of this notion in the motions for resolutions. I am anticipating complete justice in the future realm of the Lord Jesus. That must not stop us, the people of the European Union, from seeking this justice in the here and now, here on earth."@en1
