"Mr President, I did not vote for this report, despite being in favour of the text adopted by the Convention – which I took part in as an alternate – because the report has left out the reference to Europe’s Christian roots. Furthermore, there is an excessive tendency to restrict unanimity voting, which is one of the principles on which the European Union was first founded, even when it went under a different name.
I believe that unanimity voting is a bastion of the sovereignty of the States and protects the national interests that are so dear to the majority of Italian political groupings. I hope that the Intergovernmental Conference will confirm the substance of the Convention’s work, despite the enraged attacks by President Prodi, who is doing everything he can to thwart it."@en1
