If this preferred solution proves unacceptable, an alternative would be to strengthen Article II-52, to state clearly that the twelve "social rights" of Part II apply to the Union, but not to the member states, even when these are implementing Union directives. If the Union decides, as it could, that all member states must provide public health care for all unemployed persons, it would be up to national parliaments, not 25 judges in Luxembourg, to determine how to address that objective. This would take some of the teeth out of the Union's social directives, and would give real substance to the principle of subsidiarity.
如果这个首选方案不能被接受，那么另一个办法就是强化第二条第52款，明确指出12项"社会权利"适用于欧盟但 不 适用于其成员国， 即便是在它们执行欧盟方针时 也不适用。如果欧盟运用其权限决定让所有成员国都必须为失业者提供公共医疗服务，那么达成这一目标的具体方式也应该由各国议会，而不是由卢森堡的25位大法官来决定。这样做既可以修正欧盟社会方针中的一些弊端，又真正体现了辅导性原则（principle of subsidiarity）。
