"Mr President, Commissioner, we should be happy today, as we are emerging from an institutional difficulty. We have the Treaty of Lisbon, we have parity, we have faces, and yet how can I explain to you this uneasiness that I feel? Today, in this almost empty Chamber, I sense no life; we are taking part in a disappointing debate with regard to the preparation of this European Council. I cannot explain this sense of uneasiness regarding the preparation of this final European Council under a rotating presidency. What a difference from the joy of the peoples in 2004, when the former Communist countries joined the Union! What a difference from the celebrations to mark the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall! Yes, we know now that the solution will not come from the Member States. The solution will come from the peoples, it will come from the European Parliament. So I look to the Commission, which ought not to take sides, but to establish a political alliance with the European Parliament so that the alliance of the peoples ensures that we can dream of what we desire for this European Union, the Union of peoples."@en1
