After all, deeper European integration and the creation of a single political system offer solid, practical advantages that do not require a common identity or language. These advantages include the right to move freely across borders, the free movement of goods and services, legal certainty for cross-border economic activities, Europe-wide transportation infrastructure, and, not least, common security arrangements.
或许欧罗巴合众国这一我等战后一代欧洲人的梦想永远都不可能实现。但我也不能把话说死。毕竟，更深层次的欧洲一体化和单一政治体系的建立能够提供必须要共同身份和语言的坚实而实际的进步。这些进步包括自由跨国迁徙、自由商品和服务流、跨国经济活动的法律环境的确定性、泛欧洲交通基础设施以及共同防务安排。
