Vi er klar over, at flere lande ved at gøre alvor af deres trusler både ønsker at udfordre de lande, der efter sigende forhindrede vedtagelsen af forfatningen, og at trække sig tilbage uden hensyntagen til den institutionelle rolle, der tilkommer os, eller de ambitioner, Europa burde have.
We understand that certain countries, by issuing their threats, actually wish both to launch a challenge to those countries that have, supposedly, prevented the Constitution from being adopted and, more importantly, to take a retrograde step, without taking into account either our institutional role or the ambitions that Europe ought to have.
