The European Parliament, in its resolution, supported the fruits of the convention's labour by an overwhelming majority of three to one. Could we think of ways in which it could be improved? Of course we could because each of us could do so, as could political institutions. However, we asked a different question, namely, is this better than what it replaces? Our answer was "Yes". We asked whether it will make Europe more democratic and our answer was "Yes". We asked whether it will create more rights for Europe's citizens and our answer was "Yes". We asked whether it spells out the current values and objectives of Europe and our answer was again "Yes". It spells out a Europe closer to the ideal of the citizens' Europe and a more parliamentary Europe. Therefore, it represents something very big, namely, the idea of Europe as a political and parliamentary entity and not merely an economic entity. This is a very powerful step towards a Europe in which we are prepared to invest more because we can understand it better and contribute more to it.
