"Madam President, unlike Mr Kirkhope, I should like to say that the election manifesto from Madrid is a document of hope and a signal that there are ways out of the crisis, which we must support with all our strength.
Parliament supports the French Presidency at the summit next week in finally obtaining clarity regarding ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon. We cannot go into the European elections with uncertainty about whether this treaty is coming or not. That would be an invitation to all Europe’s opponents to take undue advantage of these elections for a show fight, for the For and Against regarding a treaty which has already been ratified by 25 States. For this reason the Committee on Constitutional Affairs has drawn up a resolution in which we are called upon to make every effort to obtain ratification, perhaps even before the elections. We must finally obtain clarity at the summit. This must not be postponed until next year.
Madam Vice-President, there will be a second referendum in Ireland. Our statement, Communication in Partnership, is a test case for whether we can inform the people. We must not leave it to Europe's opponents."@en1
