"With regard to Mr Ortuondo’s question, there are two aspects which I would like to mention. The first is the invoking of the constitutional foundations of a State, which are constantly being called into question by Mr Ortuondo’s party, demonstrating its irresponsible and destabilising attitude.
The second is the curious analogy we have heard about other States of the Union, Belgium for example, when it is well known, except amongst those displaying ignorance or bad faith, that the territorial organisation of the Belgian State obeys a very complex and unique system, involving the interlinking of cultural and linguistic communities with political communities, and a system of compatibilities between federal responsibilities and regional responsibilities which is completely different to the situation of the Autonomous Communities in Spain.
In this context, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, I would like to know whether you agree with the view that this rich diversity in the territorial organisation of the States making up the Union is something which stimulates, enriches and strengthens European democracy, which prevents homogenising reductionism – despite what Mr Ortuondo seems to think – and that, of course, it must be fully respected by the Community institutions."@en1
