lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, having listened to your programme I feel relieved, firstly because of the clearness of a sentence that you uttered early on in your speech: ‘There is a need for more Europe’. I do not think that that is a mere cliché, because in my view it represents the crux of the difference between us at this time. There are some who think that we can only find a way out of this impasse by taking a leap forward along the road to integration and a political Europe, whereas others delude themselves that we can have great projects and great objectives while cutting back on Europe’s ambitions, resources and policies. That is a fallacy, a deception that we have seen before from those who actually have a hidden agenda and from those in the Member States that do not want to accept their own responsibilities. The other significant word, Mr President-in-Office, is ‘consistency’: if we want that Europe of which you have spoken, we shall need your help. Please help us – Parliament – over the coming weeks to change the financial perspective, which was the result of national fears and self-interest, and is likely to destroy Europe instead. Help us to get the constitutional process off the ground again, in order to aim for greater integration, to put the Treaty of Nice behind us as soon as possible, and to ensure that, insofar as the Treaties allow, we and the countries that so desire can at any rate press ahead with policies that are essential for the Union. I speak of consistency because that is the most difficult concept to guarantee at this time. It is inconsistency, however, and those declarations that are sometimes heard even here in Parliament but are not confirmed by events, which are today the main reasons for the gap between Europe and its institutions and Europe’s citizens."@en1
