lpv:translated text	"The European Union has a clear idea of the future of its operation until the number of its Member States reaches 27. This is expected to be achieved on 1 January 2007. It has now become imperative that we find answers to the questions regarding a unified Europe, the existing unified will for development, and the Constitution. Where to now, Europe? Are we going to achieve the vision of a federal European State, as advocated by Jacques Delors, or that of a looser alliance of states? The questions and their answers, yet to be found, cannot prevent the will of the deciding majority to be taken into account in the decision-making process of the European Union. We cannot allow progress to be hindered by any one state! However, this can only be achieved by the renewal of the institutional and decision-making system of the European Union, because the Union cannot be enlarged any further if it does not change the way it functions. Without high-standard legislation, a more efficient decision-making mechanism and a stronger role of Parliament, the European Union may not only lose its efficiency, but its ability to function, as well. The fact that the European Union has become stuck within its current legal framework reinforces the very reason why the citizens of two countries voted against the Constitution. The European Union is not just an economic project, but also a supranational institutional system that also serves solidarity and the protection of social values. There are many who miss the fact that this is not emphasised to a greater extent. We must make it clear to them that the implementation of this partly depends on the fate of the Constitution and on the efficiency of the European Union. Therefore, European Union legislation must be brought closer to people. We must present a unified and positive front to citizens, because the achievement of our goals requires a unified political will, and not only words!"@en1
