lpv:translated text	"Mr President, as Dutch football legend Johan Cruyff once said, all advantages have their disadvantages. The advantage of the Treaty of Lisbon is that it gives Member States rather more say and national parliaments more influence. The disadvantage is that it shifts the centre of power further towards Europe. Mr President, this is a disadvantage that must not be underestimated in this Parliament in particular. After all, over the last 30 years, we have seen power in Europe increasing in inverse proportion to the turnout of our citizens in the European Parliament elections. The transfer of more power to Brussels has gone hand in hand with a lower turnout in the European elections. If Lisbon enters into force, Europe must draw the following lesson: let the Union act pragmatically and let it repeatedly prove its added value. Only then can we gain the support of the European electorate."@en1
