"I take a positive view of the text of the report, in that it responds to many of the expectations of the political groups in this Parliament in relation to the future European Constitution. Nevertheless, as a Member from Catalonia, a stateless nation which currently has a limited Statute of Autonomy within the framework of the Spanish state, I cannot accept the deficiencies in the future Constitutional text, particularly in relation to two specific aspects. On the one hand, the territories with legislative powers have no clear, recognised system for participating in the EU’s policy-making. Neither is it established that those regions have the possibility of bringing cases before the Court of Justice when its competences may be affected. Furthermore, neither does the future European Constitution provide for the incorporation into the Union’s linguistic system of those languages which have official status in part of the territory of a Member State, as in the case of Catalan. I hope that in the Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) the governments of the Member States will modify the text so that it is brought closer to the reality of today’s Europe in relation to the aspects I have mentioned. I therefore abstained from the final vote on the report."@en1
