"Mr President, if we did not have a European Union, there would certainly be a need for a Europe-wide cooperative that contributes to a better life for those living in the border regions, to cross-border aspects of the environment, energy supply, consumer protection and to the protection of health against internationally tradeable dangerous substances. People want a Europe that helps remove the barriers for peace, social security, public services and international solidarity. This is quite different from adorning a world power or increasing the freedom of international corporations.
People want a Europe that helps them solve their problems, rather than a Europe that causes inconvenience. People no longer recognise that Europe in the Union’s current phase. Voters in two countries have given us a signal that things must change. If we want to stick with the European Union that we have, it will have to be fed from the bottom up, by our citizens and their organisations. Continuing with constructions from the top down, dreamt up by the powers that be, will not solve anything. We will need to use enlargement and the increased involvement of our citizens creatively in order to make a new and better start possible."@en1
