".
The Slovenian Presidency has been thrown into one of the most serious crises in the recent history of the European Union. The Irish rejection calls into question the whole architecture of the Lisbon plan.
We need to act now. I consider that we cannot put off a change of pace within the institutions, a change of pace which also involves decision-making procedures: in recent years, the Union as a whole has always had to fall into step with the slowest partner. Perhaps the time has come to study new ways of enabling those states that want greater integration and involvement to achieve precisely that.
Those who think that we should take things more slowly should have the option of enhanced cooperation with the Member States of the Union. The time is crucial: it is important for all the actors on the stage, each as regards his own competence, to be equal to this very difficult situation."@en1
