Vi synes, at det er en god ting og støtter dette initiativ. Vi siger også til regeringerne: Hvis der er nogen, som modsætter sig, at Parlamentet bliver involveret heri, vil de som minimum få et problem med vores gruppe, for vi ønsker en fælles erklæring, som forpligter os til reformer og giver udtryk for vores værdier.
It was the President of the Commission who suggested adopting, on 25 March, a Joint Declaration by the European Council, the European Parliament and the Commission; we think this is a very good thing and are all in favour of it, and what we have to say to the governments is that, if anyone is opposed to this House's involvement, they will have a problem on their hands in the shape of our group at the least, for we want a Joint Declaration that commits us to reforms and gives expression to our values.
