But the germ of such a debate exists, and it sounds very different from that which dominated the failed constitutional referendum campaign in France two years ago. The operation of European institutions – the European Central Bank, the European Commission, and the Stability Pact – is facing severe criticism, but not in the name of a nostalgia for national sovereignty.
但是这一辩论的潜质依旧存在，而且，它与两年前主导法国有关欧盟宪法全民公决的竞选大相径庭。欧盟机制的运作，包括欧洲央行、欧盟委员会以及稳定和增长公约等面临严重的批评，但是这些批评并非是以对于国家主权的怀旧的名义进行的。人们并未拒绝欧洲；实际上，人们只是以共同利益的名义、以改善欧盟机制的精神提出批评。
