Hvad angår forfatningen, forekommer det mig uden at tage stilling til resultaterne, at regeringskonferencen er ved at sende Europa tilbage til sin institutionelle navlebeskuelse, uden at offentligheden kan forstå udfordringerne, hvilket konventet har forstået at undgå, uanset hvad man mener om resultaterne af dets arbejde.
As regards the Constitution, without prejudice to the results, I think that the IGC is causing Europe to indulge in institutional navel-gazing, without the public being able to understand the issues at stake, something that the Convention managed to avoid, whatever one might think about the outcome of its work.
