Hr. formand, jeg tror, at Nice-traktaten vil gå over i historien som et klart eksempel på en forspildt chance, fordi de ubøjelige forkæmpere for staternes magt står fast på særstaternes selvstændighed.
Mr President, I think that the Treaty of Nice will go down in history as a clear example of a lost opportunity, due to the specific requirements of the unyielding defenders of the power of the Member States.
