"Mr President, quite frankly, I believe it is the European Parliament’s duty to be the first to hold a public debate on this subject. Politics, I regret to say, has its idiosyncrasies, and so I do not feel it would be very wise to put this proposal to the vote now, for it would certainly be rejected. We will therefore wait for all the various exceedingly important decisions to be taken within the Group of the Party of European Socialists, and then we will see whether we shall be able to convince the Socialists to launch the debate, with or without the Chairman, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. I would stress that it is not so much a question of deciding our position on the Convention as carrying out an initial assessment of the outcome of the Convention as soon as its work is finished and before the governments can do so. I feel that this is the very least we can do politically, not least for the sake of public opinion."@en1
