"(
) This report is not part of the legislative procedure and represents nothing more than the opinion of the European Parliament’s federalist majority. The proposal argues for the completion of the ratification process of the Treaty of Lisbon.
However, we believe that the Treaty of Lisbon has failed twice, most recently when the people of Ireland voted against it in 2008, but also before that, when voters in France and the Netherlands voted against what was essentially the same proposal in 2005. When will the federalist majority in the European Parliament realise that the desire to create a United States of Europe does not have the support of the voters?
Citation B of the draft report even states the following: ‘people with an inadequate understanding of European Union policies or of the Treaties are more likely to oppose them’. This demonstrates the nonchalance, arrogance and ignorance of the federalists towards voters with political values that differ from those that prevail in this pro-centralisation European Parliament.
We have therefore voted against this report."@en1
