lpv:translated text	"It all sounds very splendid when Commissioner Wallström says that listening is imperative and when she emphasises the voluntary nature of democracy, with the people’s views being passed on to those given the power to govern. However, the whole of the debate we are hearing here in the Chamber, not just today but at other times too, shows of course that what actually happens is precisely the opposite. We must remember what has happened. We have put forward a proposal about establishing a Constitution for Europe. Referenda on this proposal have been held in two founder Member States, with the people voting against it. Surely this cannot be treated as a problem to be solved through more propaganda offices and more money for providing information etc. Must we not respect these votes as a grass-roots decision, that is to say one rejecting the Constitution?"@en1
