But, once again, EU leaders responded by concluding the opposite: the Lisbon Agenda’s failure was interpreted as justifying still more harmonization and centralization of national policies. True to form, in his “State of the Union” address to the European Parliament in September 2012, European Commission President José Manuel Barroso called for a more powerful Commission.
但是，在这方面，欧盟领导人的反应再次背道而驰：里斯本日程的失败被解释为国家政策需要进一步调和和集中的论据。一如既往地，在其2012年9月名为《联盟之国》（State of the Union）的演讲中，欧盟委员会主席巴罗佐呼吁加强欧盟委员会的权力。
