It is not a case of ‘back to the drawing board’. We are talking about a Europe that has achieved many great, useful things during the 50 years since the Community and Union were founded, a Europe that has achieved peace and prosperity and, most recently, established the single currency.
Nous parlons ici au vu de tout ce qui a été accompli de grand et d’utile pendant les 50 années de vie de la Communauté et de l’Union ; nous parlons d’une Europe qui s’est donné la paix, la prospérité, et aussi, en dernier lieu la monnaie unique.
