This system would allow those who do not wish to share monetary sovereignty, or engage in the kind of fiscal cooperation that must eventually come with it, to make that choice. At the same time, it would avoid the complications of having multiple Europes – an option that may be attractive to veteran Eurocrats from a purely functional perspective, but soon becomes hopelessly complicated.
这套制度允许不愿分享货币主权或者参与最终必须参与的财政合作的国家做出选择。与此同时，它也将避免存在多个欧洲所造成的复杂性——多个欧洲选项也许对纯粹从功能着眼的老牌欧洲官僚很有吸引力，但很快就变得无可救药地复杂。政治制度的明确性和全面性，及其自愿性质，是民主合法性的关键。
