"My fellow Danish MEP, Mr Haarder, decided to speak in a language other than his own. I intend to speak in our common language. I believe that it is very important that we here in Parliament seek to bring about a debate in which we show respect for the decision that was made in Ireland. Although the participation rate was low, I think it is worth remembering that it was no lower than it was in many places in the European Parliamentary elections at which we were elected. The participation rate in Ireland corresponds very well to the participation rate in elections to the European Parliament.
I would like to say to the Irish people that of course it is up to them to work out how we move forward. However, I cannot fail to recommend the Danish model. In complete contrast to my good fellow Member, Mr Haarder, I would gladly recommend the Danish model. I believe that it is the way forward for this cooperation and that it would bring somewhat greater flexibility and somewhat more latitude into it. This latitude could also provide room for that diversity which will become part of the experience of all of us when enlargement becomes a success, which hopefully will happen very soon."@en1
