Equally, they are all in agreement that these arrangements must remain open and accessible, that there is no question of moving towards a two-speed Europe, that the institutional framework of the Union must be respected and thus, in particular, the role of the Commission and that of the European Parliament, and, lastly, that there is a need to preserve the Community acquis, which is to say the internal market and cohesion policies involving closer cooperation.
Alle er ligeledes enige om at mene, at det bør bevare en åben karakter, at det ikke drejer sig om at gå mod et EU i to hastigheder, at det er nødvendigt at respektere den institutionelle ramme for Unionen og dermed især Kommissionens og Europa-Parlamentets rolle; og endelig, at vi skal beskytte fællesskabsretten, det vil sige det indre marked og samhørighedspolitikken inden for det tættere samarbejde.
