"Mr President, in the procedure to rekindle interest in the ratification of a European constitutional treaty, it would perhaps be useful to correct the text so that it supports institutions which have created and highlighted the particular character of European culture and the European economy.
Today we are celebrating World Family Day and we see that the large majority of European men and women continue to create families and to support and be supported by the institution of the family. Let us not be influenced by the minorities. Of course, family policy must continue to be a matter for the Member States, but the inclusion of the family dimension in various Community policies will help to strengthen social cohesion and increase competitiveness and reduce socio-economic problems such as unemployment, poverty and reduced productivity.
Apart from equality between men and women, apart from the rights of children, the difficulties encountered by every family during its creation and development need to be recognised, because these are the main reasons for Europe's demographic problem.
In order for the European constitutional treaty to be accepted by European citizens, importance needs to be attached to the family and to traditional European values."@en1
