lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to start by thanking the co-rapporteurs, Mr Duff and Mr Voggenhuber. They have done some tremendous, very open-minded work, which forms an excellent basis for discussion, as has been said. I myself am a former member of the Convention, a socialist and a Frenchman, in no particular order, and I would like, at this stage, to step into this infamous debate on the death or otherwise of the Constitution. I have every respect for the people who voted for this text – I myself voted 'yes' – but, at the same time, we cannot act as if nothing had happened, as if the French and Dutch votes made no difference to the situation. Neither can we act as if there was now only one possible solution, only one result, namely the ratification, after a few detours, of the original text rejected by the French and the Dutch. That is why we need to help the rapporteurs, and to that end I have co-signed, with them and with Mrs Berès, a number of amendments calling for reality to be taken into account. I would refer you in particular to three amendments: Amendment 18, Amendment 24 and Amendment 27. I think that, if we adopt them, if Parliament adopts them, it will give itself a wide range of options, it will be open-minded, it will make a real contribution to the debate, and it will not get bogged down in a single solution, idea or way of thinking. When all is said and done, I want to vote in favour of this text, as do the French socialists, but we cannot do so if it is just a one-way street. Therefore, let us continue to move forwards tomorrow by voting in favour of these amendments."@en1
