lpv:translated text	"The Danish Social Democrats in the European Parliament have today voted in favour of the report on the Treaty of Nice and the future of the European Union. Despite its shortcomings, the Treaty of Nice deserves clear support, since it makes the EU ready for enlargement. This quality should not be underestimated. Up until the Intergovernmental Conference, we supported a so-called narrow agenda and also voted against the European Parliament’s very wide-ranging wishes. This will also be reflected in our voting on certain elements of this report, where we have voted against, e.g. the section on enhanced cooperation. The Intergovernmental Conference that ended in Nice showed that there are great deficiencies in the way in which the EU at present amends treaties. Like the rest of Parliament, we take a positive view of declaration 23 concerning the future of the European Union. However, we oppose large, centrally controlled information campaigns. Nonetheless, we are very concerned that there should be a general debate on the future of the Union in all the countries and in the EU, so that the next Intergovernmental Conference can be much better prepared than that which ended in Nice, with much greater openness in the decision-making process and an underlying basis of visionary ideas concerning the future of the EU. The implementation of a convention in the style of that which drew up the Charter of Fundamental Rights last year may be a positive contribution in this connection."@en1
