"The Irish referendum and, even earlier than that, the Danish referendum are evidence of a certain hostility towards Europe on the part of the European citizens, at least on the part of those who were able to vote.
I hope that this does not indicate rejection of the idea of Europe, just rejection of a certain type of Europe, this Europe which is being built up with frightening speed, a Europe which must not on any account become the European Soviet Union, a Europe which must be more than just a Europe of governments – it must be a Europe of peoples as well – a Europe which must not be a Europe of bureaucrats but the Europe of the citizens. In this regard, I hope that, at your Summits, in the forthcoming Treaties, greater influence, more space, greater responsibilities and greater powers will be given to the one body which genuinely represents the peoples and citizens of Europe: the European Parliament, which is currently belittled by the Treaties and the procedures."@en1
