I want to make an extremely strong appeal to those who abstained. Vote. It takes five minutes and then it's for five years.

This revision of the Constitution will not be perfect. But at least the Constitution will not be inflexible. It will be a step towards the Social Europe which we wish.

The EU should help the emergence of "organized multipolarity" in the currently non-polar world.

If the US economic landing is soft there will be no consequences (for Europe).

The U.S. withdrawal from the Kyoto protocol endangers the entire process.

But Maastricht was not the end of history. It was a first step towards a Europe of growth, of employment, a social Europe. That was the vision of Francois Mitterrand. We are far from that now.

There are 20 million unemployed and what does the Constitution offer us in the Europe of 25, 27 and soon to be 30: policies of unrestricted competition to the detriment of production, wages, research and innovation.
