lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I must say that the Ghent Summit was very revealing, both in terms of the process and of the content. It was revealing in the sense that it, to a fault, confirms the objections on grounds of principle which we Eurosceptics and opponents of the EU have been entertaining. The very procedure is, of course, based upon its being the big countries that decide. A secret summit is held in which an agenda is set, effectively preventing the small countries from independently making known their opinions of the political decisions, and that naturally applies first and foremost to the decisions made in the light of the events of 11 September. Unconditional support is declared, a total acceptance of the United States’s arrangements. In that way, the objections and reservations that are undoubtedly entertained among the small countries and that find expression in growing opposition to the American strategy are successfully stifled. The summit’s reference to resolution 1368 is absurd. As if it legitimised anything! We are concerned here with a war of aggression contrary to international law. That is something to which the United States’s allies should be alerting people. The resolution does not legitimise any intervention or any armed attack upon a foreign state. As for the crucial issue here, namely the interventions and follow-up provisions where policing and the law are concerned, we are being faced with a demand to implement the most far-reaching infringements of legal rights we have seen in the history of the EU, and they are to take place almost overnight without any preparation. I would thank the architects of the summit. It has been an eye-opener."@en1
