"I cannot vote in favour of Mr Lamassoure’s report for reasons that include the following. The report is clearly supranational in character. I support intergovernmental cooperation, but not the supranationalism advocated by the rapporteur. Nor is public opinion in favour of a federation, something clearly shown by the last EU elections. I also object to the demands that the common foreign and security policy be made into a Community issue, that a special chamber be set up within the Court of Justice with responsibility for an EU constitution and that the principle of unanimity be done away with in the Council of Ministers. Nor do I accept that the regional parliaments with legislative powers should be given the opportunity to participate in the European Parliament’s committee work. Nor can I accept compulsory coordination of budget and finance policy. In presenting its views to the Convention, Parliament should instead concentrate on the changes that are required if decision-making in an enlarged EU is to be coped with successfully."@en1
