However, to ensure that the European whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and to guarantee fairness to all Union members, all EU states must work within the parameters of EU policy, as they have in the case of Ukraine. When they do, their efforts strengthen the legitimacy and authority of both the member states and the Union.
但是，要保证欧洲的整体要大于各个部分之和，保证所有欧盟成员国之间的公平，所有欧盟国家都必须在欧盟政策的范围内活动，正如它们在乌克兰的问题上所做的一样。当它们这样做了，它们的努力就会巩固各成员国和欧盟的合法性和权威性。
