lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, my thanks and congratulations to all those involved in the Finnish Presidency. I have felt for some time that the success of a Presidency is inversely proportional to the size of the country. And so to the Constitutional Treaty. The Irish are due to ratify by referendum, but my question is: which text? We have had President Borrell Fontelles telling us that there is no doubt the text will not be implemented as it stands. He said that in Italy. In Ireland recently he said we must go ahead and ratify the text as it stands. I was not there; I was in Brussels voting at a part-session. The Presidency has been saying today that the text has its merits, but the dilemma is that it cannot be presented again exactly as it stands to the French and Dutch. On the other hand, 18 Member States have already ratified it. We have heard from my good colleague, Mr Poettering, who wants ratification of Constitutional Treaty. Mixed messages are going out. The countries that have to ratify it by referendum particularly need clear guidance. Is it the existing text or do we wait for a new text? Yes, it is over to the Germans. A happy Christmas to everybody."@en1
