But it is also a fact that, sad to say, the referendum announced for Austria, which representatives of the European and in particular the Austrian People' s Party who are sitting here in this Chamber opposed only a few days ago, could dangerously aggravate the situation and mood in Austria again; for it is reviving anti-European feelings that will certainly not do the work of this Monitoring Centre any good.
Faktum er imidlertid også, at den bebudede folkeafstemning i Østrig, som også repræsentanter for både Det Europæiske og i særlig grad Det Østrigske Folkeparti, der sidder her i Europa-Parlamentet, for blot få dage siden tog afstand fra, desværre igen kan forværre situationen og stemningen alvorligt i Østrig, for her vækkes der antieuropæiske følelser, som sikkert ikke just gavner dette overvågningsorgans arbejde.
