lpv:translated text	"Mr President, first of all my warmest congratulations to the Austrian Presidency on the work which it carried out and on the fact that it put the European Constitution back into the limelight during its six- month term of office. My warmest congratulations also to the President of the Commission, Mr Barroso, on the historic speech which he gave in the European Parliament today. Mr Barroso restated the European vision today and revived our hopes for the future of Europe. Well done, Mr Barroso. Ladies and gentlemen, globalisation has given rise to numerous challenges, numerous problems and numerous pressures in the European Union: economic pressures, political pressures, inflationary pressures and all kinds of challenges. If it is to be able to meet the challenges of globalisation, it has no choice but to 'constitutionalise' the Union. Europe cannot function as it is functioning today and be expected to be in a position to address these problems. No Member State can meet the challenges of globalisation alone. That is why those talking with because the Constitution is dead need to tell us how they will meet these challenges under the present circumstances. Europe needs to enhance its credibility and face up to the problems as best it can; this will then provide the basis for supporting the Constitution and defending it to the citizens. This is our job, the job of all the institutions. The various Member States need to stop passing the buck to the European Union and, where they stand to benefit, claiming national successes. Finally, talking about credibility, I must say that it is not in Europe's interest to negotiate with Turkey, which does not recognise one of the twenty-five Member States and is occupying European territory. It is not in Europe's interest to be lax towards this country, while we have done everything we can to be strict in our judgment of Bulgaria and Romania."@en1
