lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we are well aware that the reasons why the three Member States held a meeting before the Ghent European Council were not technical. They know that Europe has a weak foreign and security policy, and at least two of these Member States believe that this is to be welcomed. And even if you cannot say it here and now, you also know full well that exactly the same disputes between those who are in favour of a political union and those who are against it, are raging over the Convention. I know that there is no definitive decision, but we understand what is being said. The lessons learnt at Nice are likely to be of no value since the Council is being forced to choose from limited options without being able to come to an agreement on a strong proposal, on who will be part of the leadership, which makes a mockery of the parliamentary dimension and strengthens the intergovernmental dimension, or on a long period between the end of the Convention and the IGC. Unless we change our method, we are going nowhere. If the Convention is reduced to nothing more than a ‘talk show’ or a pre-IGC, 2004 is going to be a complete failure. It is your responsibility to deal with these disputes, so that we can break with the past. I hope that the European Parliament and the Commission will be supporting you and I also hope that you can appreciate the importance of such an alliance."@en1
