". It is a rare occurrence in anyone’s lifetime to gain the impression of living through an historic moment, and this Constitutional Treaty, I believe, sees us participating in writing a page setting out the Europe that we want. This text sees us continuing the work of the founding fathers who wanted this Europe of 25 States – soon to be more – and dreamed of it. This Constitutional Treaty makes of Europe’s humanist, spiritual and social heritage a foundation for the governance of our daily lives. The Charter of Fundamental Rights acquires legal force and becomes binding on citizens. Rules are made simpler, and increasingly resemble those with which we are familiar in our 25 democracies. The Union will have a greater political role in the world, will at last be able to carry weight, and, I hope, will exert greater influence in the comity of nations in spreading abroad the ideal of peace which presided over its birth. I voted in favour of the Corbett report, and will, in my own country, participate in the campaign in favour of the ratification of the text in a referendum. The train of history is pulling out of the station; let us take it together."@en1
