lpv:translated text	"I deeply regret the fact that a majority of the European Parliament (283 votes against, 211 votes in favour and 15 abstentions) rejected Amendment No 23, tabled by the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, about expressly referring to the Judaeo-Christian religious heritage in the preamble to the intended Constitution. The proposal should not be controversial, since it describes an historical fact. We want every country, in the future too, each to have its own Commissioner, of equal standing and with voting rights. Parliament rejects this. We also regret Parliament’s support for the creation of an EU President, which would mean abolishing the rotating Presidency of the Council and, thus, small countries’ right to lead the EU. I am very critical of what is termed the clause in Article I-24 concerning the ability to change the decision-making rules in the Council by means of a unanimous decision, and this without the approval of the national parliaments and without the calling of an Intergovernmental Conference within the EU."@en1
