lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I was surprised to find out about the initial steps that were taken towards reflection within the European institutions. It is disappointing to see how various Heads of Government throw their entire weight behind a text that has, to all intents and purposes, been thrown out, thus needlessly obstructing the reflection on Europe’s future. Moreover, the Summit of 16 and 17 June clearly underlines the collapse of this Constitution. The optimistic references to a common destiny in the preamble ring false in the ears of someone from a country that, while supposedly fat and stuffed to the gullet, refuses to do anything for poor countries. In that sense, a reflection on the subject of ‘diplomatic choice of words’ is of primary importance for Paris. Moreover, the impasse surrounding the EU’s multi-annual budget cannot be seen in isolation from the current institutional crisis in Europe. The discussion about the EU’s future budget is closely related to the debate about the European Constitution. It is impossible, and indeed undesirable, to indicate policy priorities in a new multi-annual budget and to allocate funds to them while the reflection period and the reformulation of the EU’s mandate are still in full swing. The European Union must take the public’s objections about the speed and course of the European integration process seriously. The citizens want sound European cooperation in respect of which national interests are not immediately labelled as selfish or nationalistic. The public wants a Europe that does not get caught up in federal dreams but that tackles cross-border issues dynamically."@en1
