"Madam President, there has been mention of what the task of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs may be. I must point out that the Committee is to meet tomorrow afternoon, firstly to try to really get to grips with what the conclusions of the Intergovernmental Conference were. We shall have the chance to address the representative of the Commission in order to obtain information on the draft text of the Treaty, which we do not have as yet. We have only just discovered that this text is not available, at least for the time being, but it might be in the next few hours. Of course, I give no opinion on the political assessments, and the group Chairmen will be able to make their opinions known through resolutions in time. We will also need to agree on what we mean by political assessments. It seems no easy task.
With regard to the assessments in question, I will give just one example. The President, herself, knows that until yesterday evening, there were different views on a fundamental issue, that is, the extension of qualified majority voting and the matter of recognising Parliament’s power in the codecision procedure. They continued working on these texts during the night, just as they continued working through the night on figures relating to the division of votes in the Council and of seats in Parliament. At least as far as the Commission is concerned, we feel that more awareness and thought are necessary."@en1
