lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the conclusions from the Laeken Summit are by no means surprising in terms either of their rhetoric or their content. As usual, the rhetoric is high-flown and hollow at one and the same time. For the umpteenth time, openness and proximity to the people are promised. The words chosen falsify what really is the case in a way that, in terms of cynical demagogy, would put to shame the ideologues both of the Third Reich and of Stalinism. The reality has proved to be completely different, for the summit’s declared ambition that the institutions of the EU should be brought closer to the people turns out in reality to mean that the people of the Member States are ever more excluded by the closed institutions of the EU, which have fatally misunderstood the nature of democracy. Moreover, the renewed missions are being placed in the hands of three pensioners of an age that makes Chinese statesmanship look like a youth rebellion. There is no doubt that these three worthy men will be able to step up the dynamic of EU integration, but there are more and more of us who doubt that the EU and its ambitions to be a great power are any kind of solution. On the contrary, they constitute the very problem."@en1
