lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the outcome of the Austrian Presidency is in essence a Europe of results, ranging from the achievements in controlling immigration to the revival of the role of small and medium-sized enterprises and the involvement of the national parliaments in European integration. It was high time we remembered the fundamental role of the national parliaments, which represent democracy in the Member States: they are the voice of democracy. This is a Presidency that, among other things, is concluding its term of office with a piece of good news for those of us who support autonomy and regionalism. The Austrian Presidency has also given a signal to that effect, with the revival of regional status and of a less homogeneous Europe – as witnessed by the positive result of the referendum on the independence of Catalonia. Mr Schüssel has given us positive guidelines concerning the fundamental role of small and medium-sized enterprises: he has described them as part of Europe’s hidden potential. They should be supported not only for their research but also for their demands for the abolition of many bureaucratic obstacles. As for the Brussels summit, I should like to point out that we have unfortunately not been able to reach a final agreement on one of the fundamental issues facing us, that of future enlargements, in part because of the unstable position of some governments, the Italian Government included. Rather, as Chancellor Schüssel rightly said this morning, the accession criteria should be made precise and concrete; they should not remain pure rhetoric. In this connection, Mr D’Alema’s invitation to Members not to assume a dogmatic attitude on this matter is open to criticism."@en1
