We are involved in a constitution-building process of historic importance. The Convention should mark a new stage in European integration.

We have to give ourselves a constitution which marks the birth of Europe as a political entity.

Italy is divided between us and them, rich and poor, north and south, young and old, employed and unemployed.

Moreover, resolving the mother of all problems - the Israeli-Palestinian question - requires cooperation between Europe and the U.S.

It is becoming more widely acknowledged that it is better to have a good constitution than not having a perfect one.

Foreign policy can mean several things, not only foreign policy in the narrow sense. It can cover foreign policy, relations with the developing world, and enlargement as well.

Think what a revolution it will be if we manage to get everyone to pay their taxes.
