In other words, it is not true that the European Union does not constitute a political union. European economic integration – in all its aspects – reflects the desire to integrate Europe politically, which, at least in my view, implies that European economic and monetary integration is irreversible.
换而言之，欧盟确实组成了一个政治联盟。欧洲的经济一体化——从所有方面来看——都反映了将欧洲政治一体化的意愿，在我看来这至少暗示着欧洲的经济和货币一体化是不可扭转的。
