I wish to comment briefly on one issue, more as an Irish European than in my role as President of the European Parliament. I find it interesting how members of the media here present one of the assertions the Government has made about a so-called red line, namely the question of maintaining unanimity in taxation. There is a vigorous debate on this but somehow in our reporting it frequently transforms almost to a decision. That is not the case. There is a debate and divided opinion but the opinion of the Government on tax and unanimity is not an isolated one. My personal presumption, and here I speak personally, is that the objective that has been set down will materialise in the essential fabric of the new document. The Irish Presidency, ignoring whether there is a spill over of the constitution, still has several powerfully important contributions to make. As the Senators know, we have for several years had the Lisbon agenda, an economic and social reform package to try to make Europe a truly competitive global player, a place that tries to show solidarity within and without, and that is capable of holding its own as a knowledge-based and information society. I do not wish to go into it in detail but there is a large identifiable and measurable gap between what we say we want to do and what as Europeans we are delivering. The March summit of the Irish Presidency could be a defining leadership moment in Europe for a State, regardless of internal controversies, which shows that reform can work and put people back to work. It will show that Spain, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Luxembourg, Denmark and Ireland with their very different kinds of politics and people in charge have one thing in common, each to varying degrees has reformed more than the large continental economies and each has established that reform delivers. We have to convey, deliver on and plant that kind of message.
