Ian Hudghton (Verts/ALE
). –
I cannot support this report. The text fails to recognise
that the Constitutional Treaty has been rejected by electors in two Member
States. Undoubtedly if given the opportunity of a referendum, other
rejections would also be delivered. The two rapporteurs want to somehow
revive the core of the current, rejected, text. This does not seem to me
to be credible. How can French and Dutch voters be expected to accept such
arrogance? We are in a so-called period of reflection, let us make it a
period in which to rethink, replace, and not just regurgitate a document
which has already been resoundingly rejected. |
