"President-in-Office of the Council, President of the Commission, I am very pleased that the Treaty reform process is coming to a close. This is not so that the proposed changes to my convictions as regards integration can be put into full effect – at times they are very remote from that. The reason I am pleased is rather that lately we have been devoting too much time and political energy to institutions.
I am convinced that the EU’s success is not the result of the institutional set-up or the mechanics of power. This success is the result of political will and a common vision of the future. I hope that once ratification is concluded there will be nothing to stop us from engaging in a Europe of results, from taking more responsibility for global security, from having a more active impact on neighbouring countries, and finally from discussing EU enlargement, from winning in terms of competition, investments and growth. Despite what has been being said over the past seven years, institutional changes are neither a complete nor a satisfactory response to these problems."@en1
