"First of all, I should like to say to the President-in-Office of the Council that King Ferdinand of Aragón was not a Spanish king, because Spain did not exist at that time; he was a king of Aragón. Secondly, I want to point out to him that Ireland’s refusal to ratify the Treaty of Nice and Denmark’s reluctance in the past are proof that the small Member States are afraid that the large States – the superstates – may impose their own criteria and interests on them. I should therefore like to ask him if the best solution for the smaller States’ fears might not be to grant the European Parliament full legislative competence in all Community and European Union matters, without exception, and to demand the presence of the governments of the historical nations, federal states and constitutional regions in the Councils of Ministers, providing a more balanced position for the Council’s decisions, which would not be so centralising but rather more balanced and better distributed from a territorial point of view."@en1
