lpv:translated text	"The Treaty of Lisbon, which is 96 per cent identical to the draft Constitutional Treaty, was rejected by the referendum in Ireland. Prior to that, the draft Constitutional Treaty was rejected in referendums in France and the Netherlands. The majority in this Parliament refuses to acknowledge its political losses. This is an outrageous crime against democratic principles and an equally outrageous example of the arrogance of power that characterises cooperation in the EU. Mrs Kaufmann’s report counts its chickens before they are hatched. It shows an exceptional arrogance towards democracy, and above all towards the Irish population, which is once again to be forced into a referendum because – in the view of the political establishment – they gave the ‘wrong’ answer last time. In this situation there is no point in discussing this report in the European Parliament. The proposed citizens’ initiative is in itself an extremely unclear proposal for citizens’ influence in respect of elected politicians. The latter can choose to disregard these initiatives entirely if it suits them. I have voted against the report."@en1
