"This report falls in line with the strategy of those who are relying on the forthcoming Intergovernmental Conference to provide a further qualitative and meaningful leap in the federalist integration of the EU, under the control of the great powers which will, out of necessity, undermine the sovereignty of countries such as Portugal. It insists on speeding up preparations for a new Treaty, which will extend federalist integration, ‘forgetting’ the lessons and the political consequences of the Irish people’s rejection of the Treaty of Nice.
Among countless other aspects of which I am critical, the report advocates the creation of a ‘convention’ – that some people envisage as a form of ‘constituent assembly’ that it sees as an instrument for imposing conditions on the exercise of the exclusive competence of national governments and parliaments with regard to revising the Treaties, which in terms of its membership, only guarantees the participation of the largest national parties, thereby diminishing the participation of parties with different political positions on Europe, and thereby undermining the pluralism and the genuinely independent and democratic participation of national parliaments.
I therefore voted against the report."@en1
