The fact that I voted against the resolution tabled on this issue is not, in any way, due to any dissatisfaction on my part with the Luxembourg Presidency. Indeed, I feel that we can all see how the widespread praise for the Luxembourg Prime Minister is justified.
Recent events, however, such as the double rejection of the Constitutional Treaty by the French and the Dutch and the inability to adopt the Financial Perspective for 2007-2013, cannot have gone unnoticed by Members of this House. Reality is no mere passing detail. Nevertheless, anyone reading the adopted resolution could be forgiven for thinking that either Parliament has had its mind elsewhere or that the citizens have. In fact neither is true, at least on my part and on the part of the group to which I belong.
The last European Council should have responded to the current crisis in Europe with great lucidity and a proper understanding of the feelings of the citizens. Unfortunately, it was not to be. One can only hope that this crisis can give rise to fresh, more appropriate, solutions. I believe that this is possible."@en1
