lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it has not been an easy task for the Belgian Presidency. Despite careful planning and many years of preparation, everything was brutally overturned after 11 September 2001. The developments in Afghanistan and the fight against terrorism have completely dominated the agenda. I had intended to congratulate the Belgians on nonetheless having done a very good job. Perhaps someone could pass that message on to the President-in-Office of the Council. Where Laeken is concerned, my group is pleased that the declaration was so ambitious. It poses the right questions and will enable the Convention to work constructively and with an open mind. Many of the questions formulated concerning, for example, the path towards a constitution and a clearer division of competences, coincide well with the agenda of the Group of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party. Despite their long experience and considerable commitment, there is nonetheless a certain amount of doubt about the three well-known statesmen appointed to the Bureau. Will these three gentlemen of quite mature years really be able to enthuse people, especially young people, when it comes to the debate about the future? It would have been good to have had people of rather more mixed ages and, as many in this House have pointed out, a woman in the Bureau, for more than half of the population of the EU does in fact consist of women."@en1
