EU kan også blive mere socialt - det lægger jeg stor vægt på - men det forudsætter, at man holder fast ved de mål og værdier, der er formuleret i del 1. Det betyder nemlig, at regeringskonferencen skal afvise Den Europæiske Centralbanks pres for at få revideret denne bestemmelse, så den sociale opgave, der er forankret i konventets udkast, bevares.
It is also very important to me that the EU can become more social, although this presupposes that we stick to the goals and values set out in Part I. What that means is that, if we are to have the social mission, as incorporated in the Convention's draft, the Intergovernmental Conference must resist the European Central Bank's insistence that this provision be revised.
