Of course, lofty rhetoric and ambitious intentions will mean little unless Europe’s leaders commit to the sustained implementation of concrete initiatives. This is why the drafting process itself is so important; it presents an opportunity for a serious discussion involving EU institutions and the wider European policy community, which has already spent considerable time reflecting on these issues.
当然，除非欧洲领导人致力于长期推行具体计划，否则高谈阔论和宏伟的目标并没有太多实际意义。这也解释了起草过程本身为什么非常重要；它提供了一次让欧盟机构和更广泛的欧洲政界展开严肃讨论的机会，他们已经花了不少时间思考这些问题。
