lpv:translated text	"Mr President, allow me to begin by expressing my great disappointment at the fact that no minister from the presidency is present at this important debate. President of the Commission, as the mist clears following the Nice Summit, it is clear that the last-minute compromise behind closed doors has its obvious limitations. Now, sobriety has returned, and a broad civic debate has been promised on Europe’s goals, future and responsibilities. That is the way it should be. The promise is binding. But is that to be arranged? If the citizens of Europe really are to take part in the discussion about the future of the common European project, they are also going to be able to exercise influence. Is the Commission prepared to take proposals and ideas on board and also put them into effect? In that case, the EU will be transformed, opened up and simplified. We know that many citizens want to see a clear constitution. When are they to obtain one? We also know that issues concerning the environment, asylum and cross-border crime are important issues in connection with which our citizens want the EU to be strong, vigorous and willing to act. Are the Commission and the Council prepared to give the EU these tools? The outcome of the Nice Summit puts people off, unfortunately. We know that there is a general feeling of irritation about the fact that the EU meddles in all too many questions of detail. Is the Commission prepared to give the celebrated subsidiarity principle real substance and to find a method of limiting the eagerness for regulating detail which characterises all of us in Brussels and Strasbourg? Citizens of the EU and of the candidate countries, as well as national parliaments and, of course Parliament, must be given real influence over the agenda for, the decisions about, and the method for shaping the EU’s future. But how? This is the major unresolved issue discussed by all my colleagues."@en1
