Hvorfor må det ikke komme frem, eksempelvis, at vi stadig er på vej mod et fuldgyldigt europæisk demokrati, at de konstitutionelle regioners rolle ignoreres, at for mange politikområder fortsat overlades til det mellemstatslige samarbejde, at der fortsat på for mange områder er vetoret?
Why, for example, is it not possible to state that we are still on our way towards a fully-fledged European democracy, that the role of the constitutional regions is snowed under, that too many areas of policy are still left for intergovernmental cooperation, that there are too many areas in which the veto still applies?
