".
I have voted against this report, although some amendments have taken on board a few numbers of our concerns about the future of our continent. We must recall that this report was adopted in the Committee by 18th votes to 6, with 4 abstentions, which clearly indicates that the draft constitution lacks of credibility, being this report its formal evaluation by this Parliament.
The draft Constitution indeed does not incorporate into the Union the basic criteria that could build a desirable
for everybody. As the report confirms, the unique nature of the Union is drawn from its member states and citizens.
The report, following the Constitutional draft, do not give any room to the peoples of Europe to exist as such, what in practical terms, excludes the recognition of the actual Stateless Nations of Europe, as has been clearly enlightened by the words of our catalans colleagues, Mr Gasòliba and Mr Mayol. Certainly, this exclusion gratifies the Spanish nationalism of Mr Gil-Robles, but does not match in any way with what Mr Tsatsos wrote after the Treaty of Nice: 'The EU must steer a cause between the opposite poles of effectiveness and legitimacy, a balance which takes account of its
as Union of peoples and states'."@en1
