lpv:translated text	". I am not satisfied with this resolution: it is too long and difficult to understand for the uninitiated, and it is ambiguous on a fundamental issue, the revision procedure. It is not enough to lament the fact that unanimity voting is being preserved and that the European Parliament is not being given power of ratification. Parliament’s demands had to be made a central issue, for the only way of overcoming the unsatisfactory elements in the Convention’s text is precisely to ensure that there is a democratic method of ratification which will allow us to move forward. The rapporteurs and the majority of Parliament have preferred to maintain a rigid and mistaken position on this issue: it is not true that the revision procedure forms a part of the agreement reached by the Convention. This is practically the only issue on which we are asking the Intergovernmental Conference to decide! Why, then, did I decide to vote for this resolution that I do not like? Because a clear message needs to be given at this time: the IGC should not unilaterally reopen the fundamental issues of the text adopted by the Convention and this is what the resolution says. From 4 October onwards, if the IGC decides to reopen the agreements then we will resume the battle over its content."@en1
