lpv:translated text	". I can only welcome the drafting of the Convention on the Future of Europe and its work, which represents an historic milestone in the process of European integration. I welcome the concern to bring the Union closer to the citizens, enhance its democratic character and improve its decision-making capacity, in the context of enlargement. I welcome the (admittedly rather unambitious) enhancement of the Union’s role and its capacity for action on the world stage, bearing in mind the challenges of globalisation and growing interdependence. I welcome the fact that, for the first time in the history of European integration, national parliaments will have an active role in drawing up European legislation. The Union has acquired legal personality, and the longed-for disappearance of the pillar structure has become a reality. I welcome the appeal contained in Mr Gil-Robles’s excellent report that the citizens of Europe be called upon to give their opinion in a referendum, preferably on the same day as the European Parliament elections. I regret the disappearance of the rotating Presidency of the Council and the omission of any reference to our common cultural and historical roots."@en1
