lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the possible establishment of a Convention is taking up most of the attention in the debate on the future of the European Union. This morning, I would like to draw your attention to another point, namely the timeframe for the preparation of the next IGC. It is understandable that this Parliament does not want an IGC in 2004, for that is the year when elections will be held and the Commission steps down. However, would 2003, as Parliament suggested, be a good alternative? In the Netherlands, we have a saying ‘haastige spoed is zelden goed’ (more haste, less speed). When one considers the weighty subjects on the agenda, it very much confirms that more time should be taken to reflect. Moreover, the topics of the IGC are sufficiently interesting to be the subject of the election battle. In addition, it is also necessary to give the applicant states a vote in this important debate. In short, 2003 is far too early and 2004 is far too hectic. Could the Council not decide to hold the IGC in 2005?"@en1
