The Treaty will be essential not only to the proper functioning of Europe’s institutions, but also to their further “deepening” – something that many call for without necessarily really wanting to achieve. Thanks to “reinforced cooperation,” recalcitrant states will no longer hinder those seeking to make progress, and could even resort to an “opt-out” process and “liberate” themselves from the EU, perhaps by means of a referendum.
这份条约不仅对欧洲机构法规正常功能是至关重要的，同时对这些机构的进一步“深化” ，这是某些人呼吁但并非真的想要达成的事情，也是至关重要的。得益于“强化合作”，那些不顺从的国家将不会再阻碍那些寻求取得进展的国家甚至可以寻求进入一个从欧盟“选择退出”的过程并且把它们从欧盟中“解放”出来，也许通过全民复议公决的方式。
