Han beklagede, at de europæiske borgere endnu engang ikke havde været med i processen.
He said that citizens felt reassured that the EU was "making progress" but felt "they had been kept out of the loop".
"Vi kan ikke bygge et Europa, uden at borgerne får mulighed for at være med"
He described the present predicament of the Union as one of "mid-life crisis".
Han roste Merkel for hendes slagkraftighed.
He said it would undermine the EU's position vis-a-vis Russia and China.
"Det er beundringstværdigt, at De med disse "machoer" som Blair og ikke mindst tvillingerne har fået en aftale i stand".
Turning on those countries that had not been in favour of the original Constitutional text he warned the House that the "tyranny of a minority with a veto is undemocratic".
Francis WURTZ (GUE/NGL, FR) ønskede klarhed over hvad, betydningen om at tage sætningen om fri konkurrence ud af traktatens målsætninger.
For his group, Francis Wurtz (GUE/NGL, FR) picked up on the pledge by EU leaders to drop their commitment to "free and fair competition".
"Er det bare et reklamefremstød eller er det alvorligt ment? "spurgte han.
Mr Wurtz sought clarification on the impact this would have and asked whether this was just a "propaganda exercise" or a "serious issue".
Rettet mod de europæiske ledere sagde han, at hvis de ville vise, at de ønskede en ende på den fri konkurrence skulle de forkaste forslaget om at liberalisere posttjenesterne i juli.
He said that if indeed there was nothing new on this from EU leaders then it would amount to "an undignified sleight of hand".
Kritiske røster: Demokratisk underskud og gammel vin på nye flasker
Mr Wurtz went on to say that people wanted progress and a referendum on the new text.
Jens-Peter BONDE (IND/DEM, DK) fandt det nye stemmesystem uretfærdigt og uigennemskueligt.
Speaking on behalf of the Independence and Democracy group, Jens-Peter Bonde (DK) saw the new voting system in Council as unfair and impenetrable.
"Taberne bliver de små og mellemstore lande," sagde han og forudså konsekvenserne af disse stemmeregler: "Fra 2017 vil det være Tyskland, der vil styre EU sammen med Tyrkiet."
He told Chancellor Merkel that "the losers will be the small and medium-sized countries" and "from 2017 you will govern the EU with Turkey".
Philip CLAEYS (ITS, BE) lagde ud med at undskylde at han heller ikke ville slutte sig til dem der roste Merkel.
Lastly, turning to a different subject, he congratulated Mrs Merkel on her work on climate change.
Han kaldte reformtraktaten er "en camoufleret udgave af Forfatningstraktaten" eller "gammel vin på nye flasker" og kritiserede teksten for at være ulæselig.
Philip Claeys (BE), for the Identity, Tradition and Sovereignty group , also saw new the treaty as "a camouflaged version" of the constitution, or as "old wine in new bottles".
Jana BOBOŠÍKOVÁ (NI, CZ) kritiserede resultatet af topmødet og sammenlignede EU med Fidel Castro og Bolschevikkerne.
Jana Bobosikova, representing the non-attached MEPs , criticised the summit outcome, comparing the EU to Fidel Castro and the Bolsheviks.
Merkel: Tak for medvinden
Chancellor Merkel agreed with that today.
"Den fri konkurrence skal ikke ses som et mål men som et middel," sagde hun.
Her answer was No, it was simply "a means to an end" or "an instrument", which is why it was removed from the preamble.
I forhold til afstemninger i Rådet og stemmevægte sagde hun, at man kunne diskutere detaljerne men at hun mente, at der var kommet en fair løsning på problemet.
However, she stressed that since it was included in a protocol to the treaty, this shows that "the instrument must be unalloyed".
Hovedsagen er, at konkurrence blot et af de vigtige elementer i forhold til det indre marked, sagde han.
He said the key point was that competition was " one of the essential components" of the internal market and a way of achieving prosperity.
Overordnet set mente han, at topmødet havde været en succes og understregede det faktum, at det var første gang, der var kommet en aftale i stand med 27 medlemslande.
Overall, he stressed that the summit had been a success and he highlighted the fact that this was the first time such an agreement had been reached between 27 Member States.

Billigere at ringe hjem fra udlandet
Roaming regulation signed: lower mobile phone charges on the way
Underskrivelse af nye regler om roaming
European roaming
Det bliver billigere at ringe hjem fra ferien fremover.
Thanks to a first-reading agreement brokered by the European Parliament, the EU's mobile roaming regulation will come into force ahead of the summer holidays, slashing the costs of making and receiving calls while travelling abroad.
Den tyske forbundskansler Angela Merkel og Parlamentets formand Hans-Gert Pöttering underskrev i dag formelt forordningen om roaming, der dermed kan træde i kraft fra den 30. juni.
The regulation enables consumers to benefit from a so-called Eurotariff, a price cap for mobile telephone roaming calls made (€0.49 per minute) and for calls received (€0.24 per minute).
"Det er en god dag for 140 millioner mobiltelefonbrugere i Europa", sagde Hans-Gert Pöttering.
" This is a good day for 140 million mobile telephone users in the European Union ", said Mr. Hans-Gert Pöttering. "
0,49 euro eller 3,65 kr. (+ moms) vil det højst koste at ringe hjem fra ferien, og hvis telefonen ringer på den franske riviera, vil det kun koste 0,24 euro i minuttet at tale eller 1,80 kr. (+ moms).
" From this summer onwards, mobile telephone customers will already have the benefit of permanently reduced roaming charges. [...]
Sagt lidt mere enkelt: alle, som ikke i forvejen har særlige aftaler om priser for roaming, vil få glæde af de nye regler allersenest den 30. september.
To me, this is a good example of a Europe which achieves results, a Union whose action confers practical benefits on its citizens ."
Flere store danske operatører har oplyst til politiken.dk, at de vil lade reglerne træde i kraft allerede den 30. august - en måned før sidste frist.
" Sometimes technical legislation is hard for people to understand ," said Chancellor Merkel, "but anyone who has one of these in their pockets [she took out a mobile phone] can grasp the benefits of this regulation".

Jean-Claude Fruteau var blevet valgt ind i den franske Nationalforsamling.
Jean-Claude Fruteau had been elected to the French National Assembly.
Parlamentet tog til efterretning, at dette hverv i henhold til artikel 7, stk. 2, i akten om almindelige direkte valg af medlemmerne af Europa-Parlamentet var uforeneligt med hvervet som medlem af Europa-Parlamentet, og at disse medlemmer derfor siden den 26.06.2007, hvor den franske Nationalforsamling holdt sit konstituerende møde, havde været i besiddelse af indbyrdes uforenelige mandater.
Under Article 7(2) of the Act concerning the election of representatives of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage, Parliament established that this office was incompatible with that of Member of the European Parliament, and that the mandates of the Members concerned had been incompatible with that of Member of the European Parliament since 26.06.2007, the date of the constituent sitting of the French National Assembly.
Jean-Claude Fruteau kunne imidlertid ikke længere deltage i arbejdet i Parlamentet og dets organer, eftersom disse mandater var uforenelige med virkning fra den 26.06.2007.
Jean-Claude Fruteau could no longer take part in Parliament's business, nor in that of Parliament's bodies.

De nye regler for mobil-priser i udlandet - kort fortalt
Eurotariff paves way for cheaper roaming calls
EU's forordning om mobil roaming trådte i kraft den 30. juni.
MEPs have urged European consumers to take advantage of cheaper calls abroad through a new "Eurotariff".
Aftalen blev formidlet af Europa- Parlamentet og betyder, at det bliver billigere for mindst 140 mio. brugere under udlandsophold i EU at foretage og modtage opkald på mobiltelefon.
Backed by the European Parliament the new regulation on mobile phone roaming charges will see outgoing calls capped at €0.49 per minute and incoming at €0.24.
Mange operatører har foregrebet forordningens ikrafttræden og er allerede begyndt at nedsætte deres roamingtakster.
Effective from June 30, MEPs from all sides of the House backed the measures after repeated instances of consumers being faced with large phone bills after holidays or work trips abroad.
Priserne falder sikkert yderligere inden sommerferien.
Further cuts are due over the next two years.
Da nogle af bestemmelserne træder i kraft senere end andre, vil mobilbrugerne sikkert gerne vide, hvordan (og hvornår) de kan få mest ud af dem.
Under the terms of the regulation your mobile operator has one month to offer you new prices under the Eurotariff although some have already begun advertising new rates.
Disse lofter vil blive sænket yderligere i 2008 (til 3,42 kr og 1,64kr) og 2009 ( 3,20 kr og 1,41 kr).
Consumers have two months to take up the offers although if they do not the new tariff will apply automatically at a later date.
EU-lovgivernes formål er ikke at fastsætte priserne til niveauet i eurotariffen, men at indføre et loft, hvorunder mobiloperatørerne kan konkurrere og stadig få en rimelig indtjening.
As well as cheaper calls all users of mobile calls will now automatically receive an SMS when they go abroad informing them of the roaming charges in that area.
Hvordan kommer det til at fungere?
"Phone bills cut by some 50%"
Din mobiloperatør skal inden den 30. juli tilbyde en eurotarif-takst (svarende til eller lavere end prisloftet i eurotariffen).
Paul Rübig (European People's Party and European Democrats - EPP-ED) has acted as Parliament's rapporteur for the roaming issue.
Nogle operatører har allerede lovet at gøre det pr. 1. juli.
Speaking earlier he stressed the fact that "every European mobile user will be able to opt into a cheaper tariff by July 2007".
Du har to måneder til at svare.
He went on to call on European telecom operators to implement the measure speedily as "the EU has delivered within a record period of 11 months.
Da din operatør skal aktivere eurotarif-taksten senest en måned efter dit svar, kan det betale sig at handle hurtigt.
Now I urge operators to deliver to their customers in a fair, transparent and quick manner, so that EU citizens can benefit from the regulation as soon as possible" he said.
Hvis du ikke svarer (og hvis du ikke allerede har en særlig roamingpakke) træder e urotarif-prislofterne automatisk i kraft to måneder efter tilbuddets dato - det vil sige fra den 30. august eller først den 30. september.
Angelika Niebler, (EPP-ED) chair of the Parliament's Industry Committee said that the Regulation is "already has had a positive impact" as operators introduce new pricing structures.
Hvis du allerede har en særlig roamingkontrakt, får du ikke automatisk en eurotarif.
She went on to say that "customers will benefit from certain rules on transparency, for which Parliament has fought".
Når du har fået en eurotarif-takst, kan du gratis og når som helst anmode om at skifte fra den – og tilbage til den.
Not only will consumers see their phone bills cut by some 50%, will benefit from new protection with a Eurotariff" she stressed.
Hjemmeudbyderen kan udsætte skiftet, indtil den tidligere roamingtakst har fungeret i en minimumsperiode på højst tre måneder .
What is important is that cheaper prices will be in place for a large part of the European holiday season.

Portugals EU-formandskab: MEP'er om deres forventninger
Portugal's EU Presidency: MEPs on their expectations
Hvilken retning vælger EU?
Which direction for the EU?
Et kompas i Lissabon
A compass in Lisbon
Med Portugal som ny EU-formand har vi spurgt en række MEP'er, hvad de håber, EU vil fokusere på de næste seks måneder.
With Portugal now holding the EU Presidency, we asked MEPs what they hope the Union will focus on over the next 6 months.
Efter den aftale, der blev indgået under det tyske formandskab, vil premierminister José Sócrates nu tilrettelægge en regeringskonference, der skal udarbejde et udkast til ny traktat - med oktober som frist.
After the deal brokered under Germany's Presidency, the government of Prime Minister José Sócrates will be in the Chair of an intergovernmental conference that will draft a new Treaty - a process the Portuguese hope to finish by October.
Økonomisk reform via Lissabon-strategien, tiltag inden for sikkerhed og retsvæsen og en mere effektiv udenrigspolitik er også blandt Portugals prioriteringer.
Economic reform through the Lisbon strategy, work on security and justice and more efficient external policies are also Portuguese aims.
I de første dage af formandskabet foretog vi en rundspørge i Parlamentet og spurgte en række MEP'er, hvad de håbede, Portugal ville fokusere på.
In the first few days of the Presidency we took a tour around the Parliament and asked MEPs what they hoped the Portuguese would concentrate on.
Se deres svar herunder.
See their reactions below.
Joseph Daul leder centrum-højre PPE-DE (Gruppen for Det Europæiske Folkeparti (Kristelige Demokrater) og De Europæiske Demokrater) i Parlamentet.
Joseph Daul leads the right of centre EPP-ED (European People's Party and European Democrats) in the Parliament.
Han betonede, at det var nødvendigt, at Portugal forelagde en ny traktat senest i oktober.
He stressed the need for the Portuguese to finalise a new Treaty by October.
Det var særlig vigtigt, da "der stiles efter, at borgerne kan vælge MEP'er i juni 2009 på et solidt institutionelt grundlag og med et klart politisk valg".
This was particularly important as "the goal is so that citizens can elect MEPs in June 2009 on a solid institutional base and with a clear political choice".
Han fortsatte: "Min gruppes andre prioriteringer er vækst og en frigørelse af økonomien, der vil skabe job".
He went on to say that "the other priorities of my group are growth and a freeing of the economy that will create jobs".
Han ville også vide, hvad Portugal kunne gøre for at mindske administrative hindringer, så der kunne komme nyt skub i Lissabon-dagsordenen for job og vækst og frisk "ilt til vores samfund".
He also asked what the Portuguese could do to reduce administration barriers to boost the Lisbon jobs and growth agenda and breathe "oxygen into our society".
Joseph Daul lagde også vægt på den fortsatte kamp mod terrorisme.
Mr Daul also stressed the continuing fight against terrorism.
Lederen af PSE-Gruppen (De Europæiske Socialdemokraters Gruppe), Martin Schulz , sagde, at "vi forventer, at det portugisiske formandskab lægger vægt på ikke at svække den reformpakke om en ny EU-traktat, der blev opnået enighed om på det seneste EU-topmøde".
The leader of the Socialist PSE Group Martin Schulz said that "we expect the Portuguese Presidency to be concerned about not to soften the reform package on a new EU treaty agreed at the latest EU summit".
Han var også tilfreds med Lissabons planer om at gøre noget ved forbindelserne med Afrika og Sydamerika og understregede PSE's vilje til at samarbejde med Sócrates' regering om socialpolitik.
He also welcomed Lisbon's plans to work on relations with Africa and South America and stressed the PSE commitment to work with the Sócrates government on social policy.
Graham Watson - leder af den liberale ALDE-Gruppe i Parlamentet - sagde, at "Portugal har klare planer for sit formandskab, et kompetent team af ministre og medvind.
Graham Watson - the leader of the Liberal ALDE Group in the Parliament - said that "Portugal has clear plans for its Presidency, a competent team of ministers and a favourable wind.
Hvis deres formandskab bliver lige så godt som i 2000, vil EU være godt hjulpet".
If their Presidency is as good as in 2000, the EU will be well served".
Om de internationale aspekter sagde formanden for Parlamentets Udenrigsudvalg, Jacek Saryusz-Wolski , (også PPE-DE): "Jeg forventer, at det portugisiske formandskab vil styrke udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitikken yderligere og fortsætte bestræbelserne på at indføre en fælles EU-udenrigspolitik for energi…med mål og en tidsfrist".
In international terms the Chair of Parliament's foreign affairs committee Jacek Saryusz-Wolski (also EPP-ED) said "I expect the Portuguese Presidency to further strengthen foreign and security policies and to pursue efforts leading to the creation of EU common foreign policy on energy...with targets and a timeframe".
Enrique Barón Crespo - også PSE - sagde, at han håbede, at "Portugals formandskab, et land af opdagelsesrejsende og søfolk, fører traktaten med EU-reformer sikkert i havn med det formål at vende et nyt blad".
Enrique Barón Crespo - also of the PSE - said he hoped "the presidency of Portugal, country of discoverers and sailors, leads to a good port the treaty of the reforms of the EU, aiming at a new turn".
Cristiana Muscardini (formand for Gruppen Union for Nationernes Europa - UEN): "Europa må være mere kvik, gennemsigtig, parat og lydhør, men det er desværre langsomt og forstår ikke rigtigt at se fremad.
Cristiana Muscardini (chair of the Union of Europe of the Nations Group - UEN): "Europe needs to be more nimble, transparent, well-timed and responsive, but unfortunately it is showing slowness, and a poor ability to look ahead.
EU-formandskabet vil få en vanskelig rolle som mægler mellem de forskellige nationale interesser, der viste sig på det seneste topmøde, og skal styre dem mod vores fælles interesse: opbygningen af en Union af stater, der er i stand til at træffe de beslutninger, EU er nødt til at træffe på dette vanskelige stadium af vores historie.
The EU President will have a difficult role of mediation between the different national interests which came out during the last Council, and will have to manage them towards our common interest: building a Union of States able take the decisions which the EU has to make during this thorny moment of our history.
De aktuelle terrorangreb kræver mere stålsat bekæmpelse af enhver fundamentalisme inden og uden for vores grænser".
The terrorist attacks of these days call for a firmer fight against any fundamentalism in and outside our borders".
Monica Frassoni - formand for Gruppen De Grønne/Den Europæiske Fri Alliance (Verts/ALE) - sagde: "Jeg forventer en positiv impuls til spørgsmålet om klimaændringen i forbindelse med den internationale konference, der er planlagt på Bali i december.
Monica Frassoni - chair of the Greens/EFA group said "I expect a positive impulse to the climate change issue in view of the International Conference planned in Bali in December.
Desuden forventer jeg, at formandskabet afslutter regeringskonferencen med et positivt resultat, der garanterer gennemskuelighed, da denne proces hidtil er fremstået som hemmelige forhandlinger mellem regeringer".
I moreover expect it to close positively the Intergovernmental conference, guaranteeing transparency since this process has so far appeared as a secret negotiation between Governments".
Formanden for Udvalget om Borgernes Rettigheder og Retlige og Indre Anliggender, Jean-Marie Cavada , (også ALDE) betonede, at der var brug for mere gennemskuelighed og demokrati i EU.
Chair of Civil Liberties Committee Jean-Marie Cavada (also ALDE) stressed the need for more transparency and democracy from the EU.
Han sagde, at han var spændt på, hvordan det portugisiske formandskab ville samarbejde med hans udvalg, særlig om følsom information om CIA's flyvninger i Europa.
He said he would wait with interest the way the Portuguese Presidency cooperated with his committee especially over sensitive information concerning CIA flights in Europe.
Han lagde også vægt på, at Portugal overvejede EU's asyl- og immigrationspolitik.
He also urged the Portuguese to reflect on the EU's asylum and immigration policies.
