".
I was not able to support the resolution on the result of the European Council (Brussels 16 – 17 June 2005) as a result of its excessive formality and use of general officialese. It is couched in complex bureaucratic language that is practically devoid of meaning. The individual points made are not formulated in a clear and sensible manner which would provide comprehensible answers or ways out of the complex situation, in which Europe finds itself after the two unsuccessful referenda on the constitutional agreement and the failure to adopt the budget for the years 2007 - 2013. There was no mention of basic principles relating to the internal market, such as the approach to the Directive on services. It failed to mention the importance of a regional policy and the structural implements that are essential if the differences between the developed regions and those which are lagging behind are to be gradually removed. The Lisbon Strategy is once again a series of empty phrases and there is no mention of how it should finally be put into practice. If we want politics to be comprehensible to the citizens of Europe, we must change the bureaucratic rhetoric in our resolutions and word them in a language that is comprehensible to the people. Only then will we be able to regain their trust."@en1
