We voted against this report, which we consider to be unacceptable pressure on the Member States and their democratic institutions, following the rejection of the so-called European Constitution by the people of France and the Netherlands.
Although Parliament acknowledges that ratifying the Constitution now faces ‘difficulties that could prove insurmountable’, unless measures can be taken to address the concerns expressed in France, the Netherlands and in other Member States, the majority will still go ahead and transform the current period of reflection into the relaunch of the draft Constitution, on the basis of broad public debate on the future of European integration.
What the majority in Parliament would like to see is a major propaganda campaign to pressure the citizens into accepting the so-called European Constitution.
Although we agree that the Treaty of Nice does not constitute a foundation for the future – and this is why we voted against – we object to attempts at following the path of deeper neoliberalism, federalism and militarism.
We want a Europe in which there is greater cooperation between equal, sovereign Member States, greater economic and social cohesion, greater solidarity and genuine commitment to peace and social progress."@en1
