"Thank you, Mr President. Mr President, Mr Prodi, ladies and gentlemen, we clearly do need an efficient and well-ordered European Union that is democratic and close to its citizens. The Union must also be imbued with a spirit of solidarity and based on a Constitutional Treaty. It should be the kind of Union Mr Prodi has described to us today, and I am grateful to him for that.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the solidarity the European Union recently displayed towards my country, Poland, through the implementation of its Eastern policy. The people of Poland are aware of this and value it. The people of Poland understand that they must of course reciprocate, and display the same solidarity over issues of importance to Europe as a whole. This is because 68% of my fellow-countrymen are pleased with membership of the Union and want more Europe. Over 60% of Poles are in favour of a Constitutional Treaty.
I therefore call on you, Mr Prodi, to ensure that the European Council also listens to the views of European Union citizens at the forthcoming summit. After all, this splendid edifice known as the European Union is being created for those very citizens, not for the governments."@en1
