"Mr President, I speak on behalf of the new Italian Socialist Party. We feel that we must warmly welcome the new European Constitution. The Member States are transferring a growing proportion of their sovereignty to benefit an ambitious global idea, whereby 25 countries tread a common path together, side by side.
It is 21 years since this Chamber, by a large majority, adopted the plan to reform the European Union that had been drawn up by the Italian Member Altiero Spinelli. It was a complex and daring plan, which was clearly designed to create a more integrated Community. Since then, little by little, the nations of the old continent have continued to add to and to develop the reasons for uniting within this international framework, which has undergone remarkable modifications and changes.
The Constitution, signed on 29 October in Rome, just as in 1957, is a fundamental achievement in that context. Half a century later, Europe’s road has come back to the place where it all began: an exciting new challenge involving us all in creating and building the Europe of tomorrow."@en1
