It sends a clear message to the IGC to be ambitious, to think long-term and not short-term, to think of how a Union with nearly double the number of Member States we have now can actually function effectively and to take this opportunity to change the Treaties, because future IGCs with nearly 30 states around the table will find it even more difficult than it is now to agree on reforms.
Den sender et klart budskab til regeringskonferencens deltagere om at være ambitiøse, tænke langsigtet i stedet for kortsigtet, overveje, hvordan en Union med dobbelt så mange medlemsstater kan fungere effektivt, og benytte lejligheden til at ændre traktaterne, fordi det fremover vil blive langt vanskeligere at blive enige om reformer, når der bliver næsten 30 deltagere i regeringskonferencerne.
