Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

He has not done so as a leader and that is what is missing. In December, President Van Rompuy will provide a report, a paper, setting out a basis of what he considers to be possible in the context of treaty change. This will be followed by a roadmap which will probably be delivered in March 2012. It may well be that other leaders will want to expedite the matter. I can state, from other leaders who sit around the table, that if one decides to have major treaty change, one opens up all of these other areas for discussion with the European Parliament, Intergovernmental Conferences and all of that. I look forward to a discussion with Chancellor Merkel tomorrow on governance issues, her views on the extent of treaty change, whether by protocol which may or may not require a referendum-----
