"Mr President, for my part, I would like to move from medical metaphors to cooking ones: I would like to invite this Chamber to say 'no' to this plate of microwaved leftovers. We have before us a dried-up, cold dish that has lost all its flavour and all its aroma. We could, of course, use the same ingredients to make a different meal, perhaps adding a few spices and removing the most unpalatable ingredients. But the citizens of Europe are entitled to a new recipe, a new meal that will be to everybody's taste and will not just be yesterday's leftovers reheated.
I have to say, with the greatest of respect to my fellow Members, that I sometimes have the impression, when I hear some of them talk amongst themselves, that they are too personally attached to the corpse of the Constitution – to return to the medical metaphor. I wish these Members could have the courage to let go of this text that they saw come to life in their arms and the courage to take a new step: inventing the new recipe that Europe and its citizens need."@en1
