Vi ser følgerne heraf i dag. Tidligere havde de nationale parlamenter ret til at ratificere sådanne internationale konventioner, men de mister denne ret i dag uden, at Europa-Parlamentet i øvrigt får en lignende ret.
We are seeing the consequences of that today: the national parliaments used to have the right to ratify such international agreements, but they have lost that right today and the European Parliament for its part has gained no equivalent right.
