"The Swedish Christian Democrats want a solution to be found for the planned European Constitution that takes account of the following considerations, among others:
1) that the EU not be given the right to tax our incomes and pensions;
2) that the rotating Presidency of the Council continue and that a newly established, centralised office such as that of EU President not be created;
3) that Europe’s biblical and Judaeo-Christian heritage be recognised in the Preamble as an historical fact concerning our spiritual heritage, in the same way as humanism is specified as the only named philosophical current;
4) that Article 51 remain, stating that the EU must conduct a regular dialogue with churches and other religious communities and associations;
5) that each Member State be entitled to a Commissioner with full voting rights;
6) that, in the future too, defence issues be dealt with on the basis of the principle of unanimity;
7) that the ambiguous clauses concerning the passerelle and transitional mechanisms be removed; these, it is proposed, should give Heads of State or Government in the Council the right unanimously to extend the EU’s legislative powers at the national parliaments’ expense and to abandon the right of veto/principle of unanimity in favour of majority decision-making – and this without each country’s parliament being required to give its approval."@en1
