lpv:translated text	"Mr President, half a year on from the French and Dutch ‘no’ vote, we see the European Parliament consigning to the wastepaper basket the democratically expressed will of the majority. It appears that the Constitution absolutely must, come what may, enter into force at some point during 2009. It is ironic that one reason cited in the report for why a European constitution is necessary is that, following the accessions of Bulgaria and Romania, no further enlargement will be possible under the terms of the current Treaty of Nice. It is a matter of common knowledge that opposition to further enlargements, and certainly to the possible accession of Turkey, was one of the most important reasons for the rejection of the Constitution. Today sees this House proving once more just how remote it is from the citizens that it claims to represent even so."@en1
