"My position today in no way prejudges my position on the future European Constitution.
In principle, I am in favour of a Constitution but I cannot, at this stage, join with those who state that the Intergovernmental Conference must not significantly change the draft prepared by the Convention.
Socially speaking and in terms of the citizens Mr Giscard d'Estaing’s draft is manifestly insufficient.
Moreover, a Constitution should not set the economic and political structure of the EU in stone and thus deny the public any real opportunity to change society using its democratic vote.
I hope, therefore, that the IGC will make profound changes that will allow me to vote, when the time comes, in favour of the Constitution."@en1
