"Mr President, the Irish presidency has the chance to deliver on the great promise – made to the public ten years ago – that the European Union would become deeper before it was enlarged. We in this House advocate that this constitution be brought to completion, before 1 May if at all possible, but at any rate hand in hand with enlargement and prior to the European elections. I would also be interested to know what is still left for you to negotiate, and I urge you to stick as closely as possible to the Convention text. Mr Berlusconi never told us what the 82 topics were on which agreement was reached in Naples; perhaps they could be made public some time. I believe that the voting in the Council – this dual majority – must remain fundamental, as it is meant to facilitate decisions instead of more blockages. That is what your benchmark should be, and if the constitution does not come to pass, we face the threat of a two-speed Europe, which is what we do not want."@en1
