lpv:translated text	". I voted in favour of the Economic and Social Committee’s request for consultation, as I feel that, quite apart from its purely procedural aspect, this committee’s stance is crucial on the important legal instrument that may dominate the future of the Union in the coming years. Indeed, in a European Union based on a common market and a single currency, and which claims common citizenship, it is crucial that we listen to the assembly, as it gives a voice to the interests of the various economic and social groups. The social fabric of our lives is made up of employers, workers and representatives of specific activities such as agriculture, craftsmen, SMEs and industries, the liberal professions, representatives of consumers, of the scientific and teaching community, of the social economy and of families. It is therefore essential that we become aware of how they see the issues that affect them directly. I also hope that this consultation will serve to encourage the crucial wider debate on the new Constitution – hopefully reflected in democratic referendums – at the grassroots, among the citizens, through various economic and social groups, in conjunction with the local authorities and, of course, with the political forces."@en1
