"Mr President, recently the European Union has experienced a number of significant defeats, the greatest being the rejection by certain countries of the Constitutional Treaty. The consequences of this are being felt ever more painfully. Have we learnt nothing? Should the period of reflection not spur us on to take a more critical view of our Union? Judging by the financial perspective being discussed today, this has not happened.
In spite of the interinstitutional agreement which has been concluded, and which we know is the best possible solution, the European Council does not understand the needs of the Union. We are supposedly the citizens of the same countries, but we have such a different view of our needs. Could it be that the statesmen who represent our countries want to create political capital through financial limitations? Have they achieved this? Judging by some of them, perhaps not, but it does give us food for thought. We should think about whether the effects of this financial perspective, which is not satisfactory for either side, will be as keenly felt in two years as the lack of the Constitutional Treaty."@en1
