lpv:translated text	"The European Union should place all of its citizens at the centre of its deliberations over its future. Further EU integration is possible and desirable, provided, however, that we are able to assure citizens that the foundations underpinning the integration process will be protected. I refer to peace and security, the protection of important values and increased prosperity. It is worth remembering that the most important and inalienable EU values stem from Christianity. The EU stands for dignity, freedom and solidarity. The proposal to develop the EU as a federation of nation states has been criticised amongst others by radical federalists. ‘Real’ federalists do not want a federation of nation states. What they want, as they have indeed explicitly stated, a post-national EU. In this context, President Barroso’s proposal is moderate, and, for many MEPs, even conservative. In my opinion, there are a number of reasons why a post-national federation is impossible at present. Many European nations simply do not want and cannot imagine a post-national Europe. Additionally, the economic situation of the EU Member States means it is impossible to introduce the harmonisation that would be required in many areas across the federation, such as the minimum wage, minimum pension, minimum income entitlement to social support, the retirement age or the medical services basket. Regardless of the ideology preferred, the harmonisation of standards required to form a federation seems unachievable in the foreseeable future."@en1
