lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the result of the Danish referendum ought to be understood free from false interpretations. The Danish ‘no’ vote is not isolationist or nationalistic in character. It is not a sign that a majority of Danes are saying ‘no’ to European cooperation or that the Danes are not carefully informed about the ins and outs and development plans of the European Union. A majority of Danes have said ‘no’, as they did in 1992 and 1993, to more European integration, ‘no’ to surrendering more sovereignty and ‘no’ to the tools which serve these purposes, that is to say the euro, majority decision-making and a European constitution. Allow me to stress that the ‘no’ votes were delivered by voters right across the political spectrum. Even half of the ruling Social Democratic Party’s voters said ‘no’. It should not be imagined that the European project, of which we have heard the President of the Commission, Mr Prodi give such a clear description, could have convinced the Danes and persuaded them to vote ‘yes’. The Danish Government and the parties in favour of the euro have done everything in their power to explain away the integration and surrender of sovereignty that are under way. In order to pacify a people who have been independent for a thousand years, it was declared that ‘the Union is as dead as a doornail’. If the Danish Government had spoken as clearly as Mr Prodi and Mr Poettering did in this Chamber today, there would have been many more people who voted ‘no’. Allow me, therefore, to say to you all: those who want more in the way of union must go further down that road alone. Denmark, and all free Europeans who are allowed to hold referenda, will say no thank you."@en1
