Sagen er jo, at Europa-Parlamentet stadig ikke har vundet offentlighedens tillid eller overhovedet dens interesse i de forskellige lande, der endnu ikke tænker i europæiske baner, således som den ringe deltagelse i de sidste valg til Europa-Parlamentet viser.
The truth is that the European Parliament is still failing to gain the confidence and interest of national public opinion which is determined not to think about Europe, as demonstrated by the low turnout in the recent elections.
