"Mr President, the key question remains: has Nice prepared the European Union for the pending historical enlargement to include Central and Eastern Europe? The answer is clearly no! Nice is too restricted as a step forward. We should not, however, throw away the baby with the bath water. The new Treaty also contains upbeat points, and it would be a serious political mistake simply to wipe this new Treaty off the table. What matters now is to look to the future, to a wider and, at the same time, deeper debate on the EU’s future. Everything seems to be focusing on the Belgian Presidency and the Declaration of Laeken. However, we should not create any false hope: Laeken will not bring a new treaty and cannot provide a solution for the shortcomings which Nice has left behind. Laeken must, however, outline a roadmap, the agenda, the method and timing, to reach a new Intergovernmental Conference which will need to rectify Nice. Let us hope that both the present and candidate Member Sates will then be ready for an unmitigated deepening of the European integration process."@en1
