Part of this negotiation apparently would entail a repatriation of powers, requiring the consent of all EU members – and making the conditions under which Cameron’s renegotiation is supposed to take place both legally and politically uncertain. Many European politicians would view a member state’s repatriation of competences as a totally destructive precedent, and thus would oppose it resolutely.
需要全部欧盟成员国同意的权力归还显然是此次谈判的部分内容——而这导致卡梅伦重新谈判的条件在法律和政治上缺乏确定性。欧洲许多政治家会将向成员国还权看作彻头彻尾的破坏性先例，并因而坚决地加以反对。
