Politisk union, økonomisk union, fælles socialpolitik, integreret økologisk indgriben her og i hele verden er de virkelige årsager til, at vi ønsker Unionen, og jeg håber og tror inderst inde, at vores ærede venner i kandidatlandene ønsker det samme i stedet for at drøfte andre og mindre hensyn.
Political union, economic union, common social policy, integrated ecological intervention here and throughout the world, these are the real reasons we want the Union and I hope and believe in my heart of hearts that our honourable friends from the candidate countries want the same, rather than to discuss other, more minor considerations.
