There is a fundamental conflict between the call to give priority to European needs and the dictates of member states’ constitutions, which cannot be resolved by gradually shifting competences de facto from the national to the European level, or by expanding the EU budget. Within the existing institutional framework, political responsibility for higher transfer payments among countries must remain with the national governments, controlled by national parliaments and electorates.
优先考虑欧洲需求和各成员国宪法规定之间存在根本性冲突，这一冲突无法通过逐渐将胜任能力在实际上从国家层面转移到欧洲层面解决，也无法通过扩大欧盟预算解决。在现有制度框架内，提高国家间转移支付的政治责任必须仍由国家政府负担，由国家议会和选民控制。
