Mere generelt beklager vi, at chartrets motivation ikke har sat dokumentet i perspektiv, og vi minder om, at Den Europæiske Union er en samling af stater, og at det er borgernes grundlæggende ret, at de beslutninger, der træffes på demokratisk vis inden for nationale rammer, gennemføres.
More generally, we regret the fact that the preamble to the Charter did not put the document in perspective by pointing out that the European Union is an association of nations and that citizens have the fundamental right to have the decision they have taken democratically at national level respected.
