lpv:translated text	"Mr President, political differences between the economic strategies of Member States have hampered the implementation of the Lisbon Strategy. This is having a knock-on effect on the Union. If we want the strategy to achieve its aims, we need to design a new political equilibrium. Countries which do not want costly and complex regulations, such as Poland, the United Kingdom and the Baltic States, must be allowed to retain some degree of ability to control the legislative process. This is not guaranteed in the Constitutional Treaty, which is why I am making a personal appeal to the German Presidency not to adopt the credo that is so fashionable in this House, of ‘the Constitutional Treaty or death’. This credo will do a lot of harm to the European Union, particular as regards regulatory and economic policy. The same applies with regard to better-quality European regulation. If we want to achieve the aims of better regulation, we should not dodge questions about the distribution of power or the political balance within the European Union. Treaty reform must be subjected to truly pragmatic assessment in terms of costs which legislation based on a new remit for the Council will incur. The Constitutional Treaty does not promote these aims."@en1
