lpv:translated text	"Mr Schüssel, Mr President, I should like to offer my warmest congratulations both to the Council Summit, and to the Austrian Presidency on its work. A great many European politicians have their heads in the clouds – constitutional clouds, one might say – which sometimes means that they are unwilling to appreciate the long list of issues successfully dealt with by the European Union. These include the budget, the Services Directive, the development of cooperation on domestic matters, improved consular cooperation, enlargement of the Schengen area and reform of the EU’s external policies, which is the matter closest to my own heart and which is very close to completion thanks to Mr Schüssel’s team in Brussels. This list amounts to a great deal. I do not agree with all these decisions, but I am delighted that they have been taken. Having experienced how effective the EU can be, we should refrain from criticising the Treaty of Nice too harshly, for it is all we have in the way of a Treaty system. Europe functions, and indeed functions very well without a Constitutional Treaty, and proof of this can be seen in the Presidency that is drawing to a close. This experience should be the main premise behind an entirely new reform of the Treaty system. Instead of having its head in the clouds surrounding the Constitution, this reform should have a firm foundation of European experience and European practice, such as that demonstrated by the Presidency that is now coming to an end. I should like to express my warm thanks in this respect."@en1
