"Mr President, thank you for your question, but I sincerely do not know what information you have about the Congress of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) in Marseille that could lead you to say that. In fact, it is my view that a series of declarations were made at the congress in Marseille that played a very important part in the constructive suggestions that were subsequently made in the Council’s declarations.
I must admit that I am not satisfied with the Council’s resolutions, because I am a federalist and I should like to see far more being done. However, there is one thing I would like to say: it is by no means insignificant that 26 of the 27 Member States have reached an agreement in this area, even if some of them will consult their parliaments. This is by no means insignificant. On the contrary, it sends out a very important message. I can tell you now that I am confident that the United Kingdom, that those who have jumped ship, will end up back on board; I am confident of that because the pressure for everyone to unite is far greater, given the very fact that we already have 26 on board."@en1
