lpv:translated text	"President Prodi, I agree with what Mrs Maij-Weggen said just now. The communication you have presented to us is extremely interesting and is broadly compatible with the positions of the European Parliament. However, there is no clear proposal on one fundamental point, namely the integration of the Charter of Fundamental Rights – its integration, not the inclusion of a reference to it – for there is no modern Constitution which does not enshrine human rights. I hope that the Commission will not go against the development of modern constitutional practice and take the line that Europe should have a short Constitution with human rights hidden away in an Annex. I welcome the proposal to generalise the Community method, codecision and majority voting. I welcome the idea of a single spokesman for foreign policy, who is part of the Commission but is personally accountable to the Council too. There are many other points which need to be clarified and discussed but we agree that we should not create new, unnecessary institutions and that the decision-making power of the Eurogroup and the Union’s financial system should be strengthened. Lastly, we welcome the fact that a proper distinction is made between those who make laws and those who implement them: Montesquieu has come to the European Union at last. I hope that the Union’s future Constitution will be that of a supranational democracy, as called for by the European Parliament, the Commission and the majority of the citizens, and that a way will be found to avoid a few eurosceptics preventing the countries that wish to move forward from doing so."@en1
