lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I also voted against this resolution. It is not in the interests of European citizens or in the interests of the European Union as whole. It is regrettable that there is such a mad rush to finalise this by May. It is completely unacceptable. The Convention was not set up specifically to draft a constitution for Europe. Something like this needs a lot more time. There needs to be a lot more consultation with the public in general: that is why I voted against it. It is also regrettable if the Irish presidency is being forced and pressurised into finding some agreement on this during its term of office. It is wrong to imply that somehow the Irish presidency may be a failure if this issue does not go through. There is plenty of time: we have years to go in relation to this. Let the ten new countries in and let them find their feet first before we start rushing into further European integration."@en1
