lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we are all aware of the absolute necessity to reform the United Nations, and the Security Council in particular. In order to be effective, however, a reform has to be agreed upon by the largest number of countries possible, it has to enjoy a broad consensus, it has to reflect the growing importance of regionalism in international relations, and it cannot be rushed through. We condemn plans to reform the Security Council like the so-called ‘G4 plan’, as Mrs Angelilli pointed out, which would result in weakening the main body of the United Nations and freezing it in its current difficulties. We believe that all countries have the right to serve in the Security Council, by means of periodic elections guaranteeing that the many regional experiences are represented. In this spirit, we have asked for separate votes on paragraphs 19, 20 and 21, in order to remove a number of ambiguities in Mr Laschet’s nonetheless excellent report. Much is said, including in this House, on the issue of a European seat. In order for something like that to exist, however, a common European foreign policy is required, and I believe that we are still very far from reaching that objective. There is no doubt, moreover, that the recent twin ‘no’ vote on the Constitution has made the passage even more difficult. One day the European seat will be obtained but here and now we rule out permanently delegating one Member State to represent the Union, as that would discriminate against the other Member States, even though Italy would in that case have the full numbers required to be able to stand as a candidate. The United Nations is currently undergoing embarrassing revelations and scandals that are damaging its reputation. When we talk about reforms, therefore, we must not only consider the Security Council, but also, as this report rightly does, the United Nations in its entirety. Having been powerless and crippled for many years by the rivalry between the superpowers, the United Nations has once again to find new energy and new life."@en1
