"Mr President, the applicant countries who are due to meet in Göteborg at the end of this week already know, in spite of the vicious analysis offered by the mass media, that, as Mr Cox, Mrs Ahern and Mrs Doyle and other speakers said, the Irish people welcome the EU's enlargement.
In rejecting the Treaty of Nice, the Irish people have actually blown away the smokescreen that hides the real issues, for instance, that Ireland was moving away from neutrality and towards gradual cooperation into NATO, a move that erodes Irish neutrality, and would mean involvement in the armament industry and the rapid reaction force.
The Treaty of Nice not only damages the Irish people's interest but those of every small nation in Europe, the applicant countries included. The Irish lesson is a good one. They have said "no" to removing democratic control from the hands of the people. Thank you Ireland."@en1
