"With regard to this report on the future of the European Union, in particular the Laeken Council, there are a number of items which I could be in favour of as we want to chart out a new and more dynamic future for the European Union. However, putting and accepting proposals which quasi agree with a constitution for the future of Europe, working on the assumption that this is going to happen no matter what without taking consideration or consultation with the people, is unacceptable. Mention has been made also of the democratic deficit and of the need to draw all strands of society together.
With a Convention we end up with a select few non-governmental organisations supposedly representing the majority of the people in the European Union. However, when it comes to an implementation of what will come out of that Convention, how many countries will offer a referendum to allow for a full democratic endorsement of the future it wants to see. That is why I abstained on the final vote on this particular report."@en1
