lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I have two things to say. The first concerns the method: I consider it of vital importance that power over the treaties lies with the national parliaments. If power is passed to the European Parliament, a vital step will be taken towards converting the EU to a state, which I oppose. I am therefore also sceptical regarding the convention method. If such a method is to be applied, it must be a convention for the national parliaments who are to discuss the treaty. My second point concerns content. In my opinion it is not sufficient to discuss the points stated in Nice. Instead, discussion should centre upon democratic reform of the European Union, providing full insight into the legislative work and reducing the power of civil servants, especially within the Commission. A unique situation currently prevails where civil servants have the deciding influence over the content of legislation, which is a problem in terms of democracy."@en1
