lpv:translated text	". There is a big difference between the Europe the leaders want and the Europe the public wants. The leaders want centralisation, greater uniformity, liberalisation, cuts in spending and a massive display of power. The citizens want democracy, a small-scale approach, protection, social welfare and the right to diversity. Whenever the people of a European Union Member State have the chance to express their views on further European integration, it turns out that about half the voters reject that development. It has already happened in France and Denmark, and now it has happened again in Ireland. The same thing will happen in Sweden and the United Kingdom in the next few years. Last week, 54% of Irish voters rejected the proposals put forward at the Nice Summit at the end of 2000. Not because they have anything against the people of Eastern Europe, but probably because, for example, they understandably do not like the idea of being caught up in NATO’s military ventures. Quite rightly, a number of the motions for a resolution tabled regarding the forthcoming Gothenburg Summit press for a stronger environmental policy, a social Europe and respect for the rights of the Albanians in Macedonia. But basically, they still come from the top down and they represent the wrong Europe"@en1
