lpv:translated text	"The collective training of officials, the collective development of radar equipment, the purchase of mobile surveillance installations and a collective border surveillance service belong to a different sort of Europe than the one the European Union has up to now professed to be. If the EU develops into one single superstate, it goes without saying that there must be one single minister of foreign affairs with one single embassy in every country abroad and one single collective seat in the United Nations. The remarkable thing is that nobody is openly advocating a superstate such as this. The Member States want to keep their embassies and their seats in the UN and the ministers of foreign affairs would rather coordinate their work through a common secretariat than through the European Commission. Specifically when it comes to everything to do with foreign affairs and defence, we try to show that the EU still consists of 15 sovereign states. It would therefore only be logical to opt for a standard access procedure for migrants and visitors from abroad and a standard border surveillance service if we really wanted to be one single superstate. What is remarkable is that we are now making a decision to screen off ‘Fortress Europe’ against the poor parts of the outside world without having reached agreement about a common future inside this fortress. I therefore reject this proposal."@en1
