Man bør heller ikke acceptere den idé, at 2-3 lande taler på Europas vegne, definerer dets politik og udvikler denne, mens synspunkterne hos resten, hvoraf mange tillægger den transatlantiske alliance stor betydning, bliver beskrevet som en slags afvigelse.
It is right also not to allow the idea to persist that two or three countries speak for Europe, define its policies and drive them forward, while the views of the rest, many of which attach great importance to the transatlantic alliance, are portrayed as some sort of aberration.
