"Mr President, the Irish ‘no’ vote must be respected, but when those who say no also say that the Treaty of Nice has come to nothing, that is not the case. The Treaty of Nice will not have come to nothing until the moment when the Irish government formally tells the other countries that it will not be able to ratify it. And that is something that the Irish Government has not done for the time being so, politically speaking at any rate, we have, in reality, the period up until the end of 2002 to see if we can get the Treaty of Nice ratified. If that has not happened before 2002, then we have a serious problem. Denmark has already ratified the Treaty. That is due to the fact that there is a broad political majority in favour of enlargement, and we have not wanted to place question marks over enlargement. The instrument of ratification is being lodged in Rome today. It is also important, however, for us to have a discussion about grassroots support, which was the Swedish Presidency’s third key point. It is therefore up to us seriously to get some impetus into this debate with a view to the periods both before and after Laeken."@en1
