The EU’s German Presidency, which I know shares the “ambitious” view of the Treaty, is working hard on finding a way out of the deadlock at this month’s European Council. Those countries that have stepped forward as “friends of the Constitution” have also been making clear that the initiative they launched in Madrid will support the German Presidency’s efforts.
我知道欧盟的轮值主席国德国也对条约抱有“雄心”，正在努力寻找在本月的欧洲理事会上走出目前的停顿方式。那些已经先迈出一步成为“宪法的朋友”的国家也已经清楚地表明他们在马德里发起的倡议是支持轮值主席国德国的努力。
