Romano Prodi suggested that Institutional reforms must move forward as soon as possible and be dealt with by the end of this year. He noted that there is a great need of a new Constitution in Europe, in order to avoid any complications and difficulties for the EU to deliver the goals of prosperity and stability which European leaders have set.

Certainly there will be great deal of risk in accomplishing that and in finding foundamental solutions, thus everyone has to move forward together sharing the sane rights and the same responsibilities.

On the other hand, if this does not start soon and passiveness concerns, then there will be a total and probably permanent paralysis of the European Institutions.

Therefore, as long as Europe is still an area of peace, prosperity and stability, it should definitely increase its efforts to address the concerns of its citizens and accomplish practical concrete projects and achievements, about the environment, public health and food safety, among other issues. None the less, there will be a sustainable development, guaranteeing practical benefits well beyond just the single market.

On the other hand, in order to achieve more major successes and the new challenges ahead of us, a new Constitution has to be made, that will give the Union the necessary means and instruments to pursue its policies in new, globalised world. Furthermore, the quality of education and training in the Union and European research and technological development, have to be increased; where research and economic development are strongly interlinked as factors for economic growth.

And this can only be done if everyone is united, and thus the historical challenges can be met successfully.
