You are committed, as are we, to absolute coherence, but there are two things which have to be done: firstly, you must make it clear immediately that, if Nice is a failure, there will be an internal crisis which may well involve resignations from the Commission, if necessary, and secondly, you must make it just as clear that enlargement is impossible without prior thorough reform.
For det første skal det siges med det samme, at hvis mødet i Nice bliver en fiasko, får vi en intern krise, som endda kan betyde, at Kommissionen om nødvendigt må gå af. For det andet skal det siges lige så klart, at udvidelsen ikke kan finde sted, hvis ikke først man foretager en grundig reform.
