Nothing has been left out, from the right of non-EU nationals to vote and stand in municipal and European elections, to guaranteeing 'same-sex couples rights equal to those enjoyed by traditional couples and families' , to the standardisation of the procedure governing the right of asylum within the European Union, all inspired by the eternal resolve to glean new powers for Brussels.
Idet man strækker sig over stemmeret til udenlandske statsborgere ved lokalvalg og valg til Europa-Parlamentet, harmoniseringen af asylretsproceduren inden for Den Europæiske Union og at give "par af det samme køn de samme rettigheder som traditionelle par og familier", mangler der intet, heller ikke Bruxelles' evige vilje til at tilrane sig nye beføjelser.
