As a Member of the Parliament from the constituency of Connaught Ulster in Ireland, a peripheral part of this Union, I strongly believe in real and tangible representation for smaller Member States within the EU structures.
Som medlem af Europa-Parlamentet fra Connaught Ulster i Irland, en valgkreds, der ligger i et af Unionens randområder, er jeg fast overbevist om, at der skal være reel og håndgribelig repræsentation for mindre medlemsstater inden for EU's strukturer.
