"Ladies and gentlemen, last Thursday and Friday we had a very successful summit meeting of the Heads of State or Government of the countries of the European Union with the President of the Commission, the President of the European Parliament and our three Intergovernmental Conference representatives. Whilst I have no wish to anticipate the content of tomorrow’s debate with the President-in-Office of the European Council, José Socrates, I would like to stress that, in the eyes of the European Parliament, the summit was a truly resounding success because the entry into force of the Treaty, which is scheduled for the start of 2009, will give our Parliament equal rights in almost all areas of legislation. We in the European Parliament have not wavered from the course we adopted for the Convention and followed in spite of the setbacks in the referendums in France and the Netherlands, and if this Treaty now materialises we shall have played a key part in its creation. We hope that the ratification process will be successfully concluded in all 27 countries of the European Union. The signing of the Treaty will take place in Lisbon on 13 December, and on the previous day – the twelfth of December, as agreed with the Presidents of the European Council and the Commission – we shall proclaim the Charter of Fundamental Rights at a formal sitting here in Strasbourg. That will be a significant event. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the work of our three representatives at the Intergovernmental Conference – Elmar Brok, Enrique Barón Crespo and Andrew Duff. I am pleased to see that Enrique Barón Crespo is with us, but I cannot see the other representatives. In that case we shall defer the approval of the Minutes."@en1
