lpv:translated text	"It has almost always been necessary in this House to recall the sound common sense to be found in the Norwegian fell-walkers handbook: ‘In the event of a discrepancy between the map and the terrain, it is recommended that you be guided by the terrain’. The institutions of the European Union, and this House in particular, have still not grasped this very elementary insight. The Union train thunders off, taking no account of the terrain. The terrain is the people in the countries of Europe who have long since got off this Union train. We have no confidence in the Union project. We disassociate ourselves from the ideological agenda, which the motion for a resolution calls ambitious and which involves a disastrous undermining of democracy in the Member States. Deeper integration, the Treaty which is to become a constitution, the extension to the military, etc. But it does not pay to ignore the lie of the land. On 28 September of this year, the Danish people, who have the privilege of being able to vote in referenda, will send out a decisive signal when we vote against joining the euro. This ‘no’ vote will, first of all, mean that our friends and brethren in Sweden and Great Britain will also vote against and, secondly, it will send out a crucial signal to the summits in Feira and Nice to the effect that one ought to be guided by the terrain, which is more important than the ideological map."@en1
