I do not pretend that Europe has all the answers to these problems. What I mean is that we must show our commitment to contributing to the resolution of these issues at a European level, as by their very nature, they go well beyond purely national boundaries. I have no hesitation in suggesting that in some cases – or, rather, in many cases – the answer to the concerns of disillusioned European citizens lies not in reducing but in increasing the European dimension.
Je ne crains pas d'affirmer que, parfois, voire souvent peut-être, la réponse aux préoccupations d'un public européen désillusionné n'est pas de réduire la dimension européenne mais de l'accroître. La grande majorité des citoyens européens ne sont pas sceptiques au sujet d'une action au niveau européen.
