lpv:spoken text	". My congratulations and heartfelt thanks go to Mr Berlusconi, whose six-month presidency of the Council started in such spectacular fashion in this Chamber in July 2003 and led to the fiasco in Brussels at the weekend. Perhaps he really has helped to kick into touch this awful Constitution. If only. The one thing the European Union cannot do is take NO for an answer. We first saw this when the Danes vetoed Maastricht. No doubt huge pressure will be put on the plucky Poles and others to ensure a signing ceremony on 9 May 2004. If this does not succeed, some states will press ahead and a two-speed EU will emerge. Some in my country might be happy with life in the slow lane. But to me, it just prolongs the agony and keeps us heading in the wrong direction. Increasingly, the peoples of Europe are saying 'Let us go in the opposite direction'."@en1
