Strasbourg, 26/09/2005 (Agence Europe) - Addressing Romanian and Bulgarian observers who he was welcoming to the European Parliament plenary (the women were given flowers) on 26 September, president Borrell said that “your countries are negotiating their entry into the European Union at a particularly difficult time”. In his speech (which EUROPE will be returning to). Borrell said that “on a daily basis…the institutions were working but the project was suffering from an identity crisis. He added that “ for some people we could give up on a vision for the future but for me the political sense of the project and the geographical dimensions are in an impasse and the European Parliament has to contribute vigorously to getting over it”. Why not invite Heads of State and governments to parliament where the vote on the European Constitution had a significant vote? Borrell asked (without referring to France and the Netherlands).
