"Mr President, Chancellor, ladies and gentlemen, your long-awaited speech, Chancellor, ended up being a very important one, and we agree with both its content and the path it traces out for the Union in the coming months.
The people are today asking Europe to provide solutions to those problems of theirs that the Member States and the regions cannot solve. That is why we need a Union capable of acting on the basis of what you call a
in German, a basic rule, in order to confront the major challenges facing us. These range from globalisation to the fight against terrorism, from immigration to peace keeping, from energy security to the climate crisis, and from unemployment to the issue of Africa. We need a Constitution to sanction Europe’s role, not least through having a seat on the United Nations Security Council.
Europe also needs to achieve the victory of politics over bureaucracy, Chancellor, and we welcome the reference you made to the values that make up our European identity: freedom, subsidiarity and the central importance of the individual are values without which we cannot build our future as European citizens, and it is these values that keep us firmly rooted. Lastly, we welcome your plan for a common market with the United States, the other face of the West that is rooted in freedom."@en1
