The fact that the Council does not deem it in any way necessary to meet Parliament's very clear criticisms in any acceptable form whatsoever unfortunately shows that all the critics of the EU, and also those who now reject the institution, are right, as we are flagrantly disregarding precisely the fundamental principles on which a democracy should be based.
Tõsiasi, et nõukogu ei loe kuidagi vajalikuks parlamendi väga selgele kriitikale mingilgi rahuldaval moel vastata, näitab kahjuks, et kõikidel ELi kriitikutel, ning nendel, kes institutsioonile on nüüd vastu, on õigus, kuna eirame räigelt just neid aluspõhimõtteid, millele demokraatia rajanema peaks.
