lpv:translated text	"Mr President, if the Dehaene Group’s report is to be summarised in the course of one minute, which is what I shall try to do now, it might be said to contain what Swedish supporters of the EU promised would never happen. If the Group’s proposals were implemented, the EU would take a decisive step towards being transformed into a State in its own right. The remaining right of veto is to be taken away and the influence of small countries reduced; the President of the Commission is to become a sort of Prime Minister in an ever more powerful European Commission, and the EU is to become a military union. What is especially negative is the fact that the Group proposes that the Member States’ power over changes to the Treaty is to be drastically reduced. Where large parts of the present Treaty are concerned, the Group wants it to be possible for changes to be made without these being approved by the Member States’ parliaments and without any requirement of unanimity. It is a proposal which is directed specifically against the opportunities which Member States and their populations have to wield democratic influence on the EU’s development."@en1
