This means that cooperation with non-EU countries should not be to the detriment of solidarity and common rules within the EU. Consulting at an early stage would help manage misperceptions – often fueled by reports in the media long before deals are concluded – and thus strengthen convergence and unity among EU member states.
这意味着与非欧盟成员国的合作不应对欧盟内部的团结和共同原则造成损害。尽早进行磋商有助于消弭误解——这些误解通常会在媒体的添油加醋下不断加深，即便交易还远未达成——并因此增强欧盟成员国之间的团结一致。
