"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, with Laeken we may have found an antidote to some of the poisons present in the Treaty of Nice. The convening of a constituent Convention – constituent because this Convention will give rise to the Constitution for the new Europe – means restoring a political soul to Europe, in other words thinking about what is to be the future home of us all. Parliament must therefore welcome the success of the Summit and make sure that the Convention’s work reaches its appropriate conclusion in an Intergovernmental Conference, which will have to draw up the new Constitutional Treaty, to bring about the European federation.
Genuine, practical federalism, which also respects the regional level, as the Council has rightly said, which respects minority languages and all peoples, great and small, will burst into the history of this new century as part of the process of European integration, and anyone representing the people of the Valle d’Aosta can only rejoice at that.
We have set a positive process in motion and the enemies of the European Union are already aware of this; we must therefore step up our efforts."@en1
