Bekymringer i denne retning udløses imidlertid også af den planlagte udvidelse af brugen af flertalsafgørelser og den omstændighed, at formandskabet i sine konklusioner fra Dublin II foreslår, at de retlige rammer for anvendelsen af euroen baseres på EF-traktatens artikel 235, som det i stigende grad kan registreres og også er påvist i en undersøgelse af hr. Bandet, og hvormed man dokumenterer Fællesskabets tendens til, uanset den formelle bekendelse til subsidiaritetsprincippet, på et tvivlsomt retsgrundlag at gøre krav på en kompetence, som efter vor opfattelse ikke tilkommer det.
Concerns of this nature are also being aroused, however, by the planned extension of majority decision-making and the suggestion from the presidency, in its conclusions on the second Dublin summit, that the legal framework for the introduction of the euro should be based on Article 235 of the EC Treaty. This suggestion, which is being heard more and more frequently and has also been made in a study by Mr Bandet, demonstrates the tendency on the part of the Community, regardless of the formal commitment to subsidiarity, to use dubious legal grounds for laying claim to powers to which we believe it has no right.
