"I have chosen to differ from my political group and shall vote against the report on the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe. I believe that the draft Constitution entails the EU’s going from being a form of intergovernmental cooperation based on treaties to being a state based on a Constitution. I believe that it strengthens the precedence of EU law over national law, removes more power from the Member States and gives the larger countries more power than the small countries. These are things to which I object.
I voted in favour of Sweden’s becoming a member of the EU in the 1994 referendum, and I am sincerely in favour of the idea of international cooperation in solving common problems. There are important tasks we must perform together, especially where the environment, human trafficking and social dumping are concerned. I am, however, opposed to the present trend towards increased supranationalism in the EU. I wish to see European cooperation at intergovernmental level."@en1
