Madam President, at the Biarritz Council we saw emerging, from behind the real or supposed quarrels between larger and smaller countries, a different but equally real type of rift between those who want to speed up European integration and those who want to preserve a design for a European Union that respects Member States and national democracies.
Fru formand, på topmødet i Biarritz begynder vi bag de reelle eller fingerede skænderier mellem de store og de små lande at kunne ane en anden uoverensstemmelse, men den er meget reel, mellem tilhængere af en fremskyndet integration og dem, der vil bevare en EU-model, der respekterer staterne og de nationale demokratier.
