"Madam President, is not the real reason for this glossy brochure and this debate today the fact that the Treaty of Nice is dead? The Irish people saw to that, and you know that if you ask them again they will reject it a second time. It is interesting to note that they were the only people who were asked whether or not they wanted the Treaty.
That is why we have European governance and why you are seeking to push through the institutional changes, choosing a different method. The only way that you will achieve the participation in this European project that you want is through consent. By that I do not mean the consent of a House like this, but of the ordinary voters in Europe. Let us have more referendums in all Member States. That is the only way to achieve democratic legitimacy. The way to address the democratic deficit is to give people a chance to express their opinions."@en1
