lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, when Mr Juncker came to this Parliament in January to set out his presidency’s priorities, the UK Independence Party reminded him that he had spoken about a window of opportunity to cut a quick deal on the EU budget, including the British rebate. We pointed out that Mr Juncker was under the impression that he could revise in just six months arrangements that had taken five years to negotiate. I do not know whether Mr Juncker was being naive or arrogant, but last week he counted the cost of it. It has been suggested in the media that Mr Blair allowed the rebate to be discussed when such discussions were not necessary, thereby falling into a trap laid by President Chirac who wished to distract attention from the French ‘no’ vote. In fact the rebate was always going to be discussed last week because Mr Juncker was determined it should be. His window of opportunity was almost closed, the curtain rapidly falling across his presidency. Mr Juncker is right about one thing: the EU is in profound crisis and for that we can look back in gratitude upon his six months at its helm. I would also like to thank Mr Juncker for his verdict on the French and Dutch ‘no’ votes. His quote, ‘I want to believe obstinately that neither the French or the Dutch have rejected the Constitutional Treaty’, will go down in history as being typical of the attitude of the EU’s political elite in the 21st century. I come from Devon, where we are often referred to as simple country folk. Despite – or perhaps because of – my simplistic outlook on life, I found the EU Constitution incredibly easy to understand. It is abundantly clear that if you wish to see your country retain its independence, you have to vote ‘no’. Clearly the French and the Dutch share a Devonian’s ability to understand it. What part of the word ‘no’ does Mr Juncker not understand?"@en⁴

Juncker kom her til Parlamentet i januar for at beskrive prioriteringerne for sit formandskab, mindede Det Forenede Kongeriges Uafhængighedsparti ham om, at han havde talt om muligheden for at nå en hurtig aftale om EU-budgettet, herunder den britiske rabat. Vi påpegede, at hr. Juncker havde indtryk af, at han på blot seks måneder kunne ændre nogle ordninger, som det havde taget fem år at forhandle sig frem til. Jeg ved ikke, om hr. Juncker var naiv eller arrogant, men i sidste uge betalte han prisen. Det har været fremme i medierne, at Tony Blair tillod, at rabatten kom til forhandling, da disse drøftelser ikke var nødvendige, hvorved han faldt i præsident Chiracs fælde, nemlig at aflede opmærksomheden fra det franske nej. Rabatten ville under alle omstændigheder komme til forhandling i sidste uge, fordi hr. Juncker var fast besluttet på, at det skulle den. Hans muligheder var næsten opbrugt, og det var ved at være tæppefald for hans formandskab. Hr. Juncker har ret i en ting, nemlig at EU står i en dyb krise, og det kan vi takke de seks måneder med ham ved roret for. Jeg vil også gerne takke hr. Juncker for hans dom over det franske og hollandske nej. Hans bemærkning: "Jeg tror fuldt og fast på, at hverken franskmændene eller hollænderne har forkastet forfatningstraktaten", vil komme i historiebøgerne som værende typisk for holdningen hos EU's politiske elite i det 21. århundrede. Jeg kommer fra Devon, hvor vi ofte beskrives som simple folk fra landet. På trods af - eller måske på grund af - mit simplistiske livssyn fandt jeg EU-forfatningen ufatteligt let at forstå. Det er umådelig tydeligt, at hvis man ønsker, at ens land bevarer sin selvstændighed, er man nødt til at stemme nej. Franskmændene og hollænderne har tydeligvis samme evne som folk fra Devon til at forstå den. Hvilken del af ordet nej er det, hr. Juncker ikke forstår?"@da² "Herr Präsident! Als uns Herr Juncker diesem Parlament im Januar einen Besuch abstattete, um die Schwerpunkte seiner Präsidentschaft vorzustellen, hat ihn die britische Unabhängigkeitspartei daran erinnert, dass er von einem günstigen Zeitpunkt für die Aushandlung einer Einigung zum Gemeinschaftshaushalt sowie zum britischen Rabatt gesprochen hatte. Wir haben darauf hingewiesen, dass Herr Juncker den Eindruck hatte, in nur sechs Monaten Einigungen ändern zu können, deren Aushandlung fünf Jahre in Anspruch genommen hatte. Ich weiß nicht, ob Herr Juncker naiv oder überheblich war, doch in der vergangenen Woche musste er sich mit den Folgen auseinander setzen. In den Medien wurde berichtet, dass sich Herr Blair auf eine unnötige Diskussion über den Rabatt eingelassen habe und damit Präsident Chirac in die Falle gegangen sei, der die Aufmerksamkeit vom französischen „Nein“ zur Verfassung habe ablenken wollen. Tatsache aber ist, dass der Rabatt in der vergangenen Woche auf jeden Fall zur Sprache gekommen wäre, weil sich Herr Juncker dies vorgenommen hatte. Seine Chancen wurden immer kleiner, der Vorhang für seine Ratspräsidentschaft fiel schnell. In einer Sache hat Herr Juncker Recht: die EU befindet sich in einer tiefen Krise, und was das betrifft, können wir auf seine sechsmonatige Führung voller Dankbarkeit zurückblicken. Darüber hinaus möchte ich Herrn Juncker für sein Urteil zum französischen und niederländischen „Nein“ zur Verfassung danken. Seine Äußerung, dass er fest daran glauben möchte, dass weder die Franzosen noch die Niederländer den Verfassungsvertrag abgelehnt haben, wird in die Geschichte eingehen, weil sie charakteristisch für das Verhalten der politischen Elite der Gemeinschaft im 21. Jahrhundert ist. Ich komme aus Devon, und wir werden häufig als einfache Leute vom Lande bezeichnet. Trotz – oder vielleicht wegen – meiner einfachen Sicht der Dinge ist es mir keineswegs schwer gefallen, die EU-Verfassung zu verstehen. Es liegt mehr als auf der Hand, dass man mit „Nein“ stimmen muss, wenn man die Unabhängigkeit seines Heimatlandes wahren will. Die Franzosen und Niederländer scheinen offensichtlich auch die Fähigkeit von uns Menschen aus Devon zu besitzen, dies zu verstehen. Wie deutlich muss man „Nein“ sagen, damit Herr Juncker es versteht?"@de⁹ "Κύριε Πρόεδρε, όταν ο κ. Juncker ήλθε τον Ιανουάριο σε αυτό το Κοινοβούλιο για να εκθέσει τις προτεραιότητες της Προεδρίας του, το Κόμμα Ανεξαρτησίας του Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου του υπενθύμισε ότι είχε μιλήσει για ένα παράθυρο ευκαιρίας προκειμένου να επιτευχθεί ταχεία συμφωνία για τον προϋπολογισμό της ΕΕ, περιλαμβανομένων των επιστροφών στη Βρετανία. Επισημάναμε ότι ο κ. Juncker είχε την εντύπωση ότι μπορούσε να αναθεωρήσει, μέσα σε έξι μήνες μόλις, διευθετήσεις που είχαν απαιτήσει διαπραγματεύσεις πέντε ετών. Δεν γνωρίζω αν ο κ. Juncker ήταν αφελής ή επηρμένος, αλλά την περασμένη εβδομάδα πλήρωσε το τίμημα της στάσης του. Στα μέσα ενημέρωσης διατυπώθηκαν υπαινιγμοί ότι ο κ. Μπλερ επέτρεψε να τεθούν σε συζήτηση οι επιστροφές, ενώ δεν υπήρχε ανάγκη αυτών των συζητήσεων, πέφτοντας κατ’ αυτόν τον τρόπο στην παγίδα του προέδρου Chirac, που επιθυμούσε να αποσπάσει την προσοχή από τη γαλλική αρνητική ψήφο. Στην πραγματικότητα, οι επιστροφές θα συζητούνταν ούτως ή άλλως την περασμένη εβδομάδα, διότι ο κ. Juncker είχε αποφασίσει ότι έτσι έπρεπε να γίνει. Το κατ’ αυτόν παράθυρο ευκαιρίας ήταν σχεδόν κλειστό, και η κουρτίνα, η αυλαία, έπεφτε γοργά για την Προεδρία του. Σε ένα πράγμα έχει δίκιο ο κ. Juncker: η ΕΕ βρίσκεται σε βαθιά κρίση και γι’ αυτό μπορούμε να αναπολούμε με ευγνωμοσύνη το εξάμηνο που εκείνος ήταν στο πηδάλιό της. Θέλω επίσης να ευχαριστήσω τον κ. Juncker για την ετυμηγορία του αναφορικά με την αρνητική ψήφο των Γάλων και των Ολλανδών. Η ρήση του, «θέλω πεισματικά να πιστεύω ότι ούτε οι Γάλλοι ούτε οι Ολλανδοί απέρριψαν τη συνταγματική συνθήκη», θα μείνει στην ιστορία σαν χαρακτηριστική της στάσης της πολιτικής ελίτ της ΕΕ κατά τον 21ο αιώνα. Προέρχομαι από το Ντέβον, και οι άνθρωποί του συχνά αναφέρονται σαν απλοί επαρχιώτες. Παρά την απλουστευτική άποψή μου για τη ζωή –ή ίσως εξαιτίας της– βρήκα το Σύνταγμα της ΕΕ απίστευτα εύληπτο. Είναι πασιφανές ότι, αν θέλετε να δείτε τη χώρα σας να διατηρεί την ανεξαρτησία της, τότε πρέπει να ψηφίσετε «όχι». Είναι σαφές ότι οι Γάλλοι και οι Ολλανδοί έχουν κι αυτοί την ικανότητα ενός ντόπιου από το Ντέβον να το κατανοούν αυτό. Ποιο μέρος της λέξης «όχι» δεν καταλαβαίνει ο κ. Juncker;"@el¹⁰ "Señor Presidente, cuando el señor Juncker compareció en enero ante este Parlamento para explicar las prioridades de su Presidencia, el Partido por la Independencia del Reino Unido le recordó que había hablado de la oportunidad de recortar de manera importante el presupuesto de la UE, incluido el cheque británico. Nosotros dijimos que el señor Juncker daba a entender que podía revisar en solo seis meses acuerdos que habían tardado cinco años en negociarse. No sé si el señor Juncker pecó de ingenuo o de arrogante, pero la semana pasada tuvo que pagar por ello. Se ha sugerido en los medios de comunicación que el señor Blair permitió que se debatiera el cheque británico cuando ese debate no era necesario, cayendo así en la trampa tendida por el Presidente Chirac que desviar la atención del resultado negativo del referendo francés. Pero lo cierto es que el cheque británico se iba a debatir en cualquier caso la semana pasada porque el señor Juncker estaba convencido de que así debía hacerse. Su oportunidad casi se desvaneció y un tupido velo cayó rápidamente sobre su Presidencia. El señor Juncker tiene razón en una cosa: la UE atraviesa una profunda crisis y por eso podemos mirar hacia atrás con gratitud a sus seis meses de mandato. Quiero también agradecer al señor Juncker su veredicto sobre el resultado negativo de los referendos celebrados en Francia y los Países Bajos. Su declaración de que «Quiero creer obstinadamente que ni los franceses ni los neerlandeses han rechazado el Tratado constitucional» pasarán a la historia como ejemplo de la típica actitud de la elite política de la UE en el siglo XXI. Yo soy de Devon, donde se nos considera en general gente de campo sencilla. A pesar de mi visión simplista de la vida, o precisamente a causa de ella, creo que la Constitución de la UE es increíblemente fácil de entender. Está muy claro que si uno quiere que su país conserve la independencia, tiene que votar «no». Está claro que los franceses y los neerlandeses comparten la capacidad de un devoniano para entender eso. ¿Qué parte de la palabra «no» no entiende el señor Juncker?"@es²⁰ "Mr President, when Mr Juncker came to this Parliament in January to set out his presidency’s priorities, the UK Independence Party reminded him that he had spoken about a window of opportunity to cut a quick deal on the EU budget, including the British rebate.

What part of the word ‘no’ does Mr Juncker not understand?"@et⁵ "Arvoisa puhemies, kun Jean-Claude Juncker esitteli täällä parlamentissa tammikuussa puheenjohtajakautensa painopistealueet, Yhdistyneen kuningaskunnan itsenäisyyspuolue muistutti hänen todenneen, että neuvoston on mahdollista päästä EU:n talousarviosta pikaisesti sovintoon, joka pitää sisällään vuotuisen alennuksen Yhdistyneelle kuningaskunnalle. Huomautimme tuolloin, että puheenjohtaja Junckerilla oli sellainen käsitys, että hän pystyisi muuttamaan kuudessa kuukaudessa järjestelyä, josta oli neuvoteltu viisi vuotta. En tiedä, oliko puheenjohtaja Juncker naiivi vai ylimielinen, mutta viime viikolla hän ymmärsi, mitä seurauksia sillä olisi. Tiedotusvälineissä on esitetty väite, jonka mukaan salliessaan alennuksesta keskustelemisen ajankohtana, jolloin tällaiset keskustelut ei olisi olleet välttämättömiä, Blair putosi presidentti Chiracin asettamaan ansaan. Viimeksi mainittu halusi tiedotusvälineiden mukaan kääntää näin huomion pois Ranskan kansanäänestyksen kielteisestä tuloksesta. Itse asiassa alennuksesta oli joka tapauksessa määrä keskustella viime viikolla, koska puheenjohtaja Juncker oli vakaasti päättänyt, että näin tehtäisiin. Hänen mahdollisuutensa olivat lähes menneet, ja esirippu oli laskeutumassa pian Luxemburgin puheenjohtajakauden päätteeksi. Puheenjohtaja Juncker on oikeassa yhdessä asiassa: EU on syvässä kriisissä, ja siitä saamme kiittää hänen kuusi kuukautta kestänyttä kauttaan EU:n peräsimessä. Haluan myös kiittää neuvoston puheenjohtajaa johtopäätöksestä, jonka hän teki Ranskan ja Alankomaiden kielteisistä kansanäänestyksistä. Neuvoston puheenjohtajan sanat "haluan itsepintaisesti uskoa siihen, etteivät ranskalaiset eivätkä alankomaalaiset ole torjuneet perustuslakisopimusta" jäävät historiaan tyypillisenä esimerkkinä EU:n poliittisen eliitin asenteesta 2000-luvulla. Olen kotoisin Devonista, jossa asuvia pidetään usein yksinkertaisina maalaisina. Mutkattomasta elämänkatsomuksestani huolimatta, tai ehkä juuri sen ansiosta, EU:n perustuslakia oli mielestäni uskomattoman helppo ymmärtää. On päivänselvää, että jos haluat kotimaasi säilyttävän itsenäisyytensä, on äänestettävä perustuslakia vastaan. Ranskalaisilla ja alankomaalaisilla on selvästikin devonilaisten tapaan kyky ymmärtää tämä asia. Mitä osaa sanassa "ei" arvoisa neuvoston puheenjohtaja Juncker ei ymmärrä?"@fi⁷ "Monsieur le Président, lorsque M. Juncker s’est présenté devant ce Parlement en janvier pour nous exposer les priorités de sa présidence, la Parti de l’indépendance du Royaume-Uni lui a rappelé qu’il avait parlé d’une occasion e passer un marché rapide concernant le budget de l’UE, y compris le rabais britannique. Nous avons souligné que M. Juncker estimait pouvoir réviser en seulement six mois des accords dont les négociations avaient duré cinq ans. Je ne sais pas si M. Juncker était naïf ou arrogant, mais, la semaine dernière, il en a payé le prix. Les médias ont laissé entendre que M. Blair a permis que le rabais fasse l’objet d’une discussion alors que cette discussion n’était pas nécessaire, tombant ainsi dans un piège tendu par le président Chirac, qui voulait détourner l’attention du «non» français. En réalité, la discussion sur le rabais allait de toute façon avoir lieu la semaine dernière, parce que M. Juncker en avait décidé ainsi. Son occasion s’était presque évaporée, le rideau se refermant rapidement sur sa présidence. M. Juncker a raison à propos d’une chose: l’UE traverse une crise profonde et, pour cette raison, nous pouvons remercier ses six mois à la tête du Conseil. Je tiens également à remercier M. Juncker pour son verdict sur les «non» français et néerlandais. Son affirmation «Je persiste à croire que ni les Français ni les Néerlandais n’ont rejeté le traité constitutionnel» restera gravée dans l’histoire comme une attitude typique de l’élite politique de l’UE du XXIe siècle. Je viens du Devon, où les habitants sont souvent considérés comme de simples campagnards. En dépit de - ou peut-être à cause de - ma vision simpliste de la vie, j’ai trouvé que la Constitution européenne était incroyablement simple à comprendre. Il est tout à fait clair que si vous souhaitez que votre pays conserve son indépendance, vous devez voter «non». Manifestement, les Français et les Néerlandais partagent la capacité de compréhension des habitants du Devon. Quelle partie du mot «non» M. Juncker ne comprend-t-il pas?"@fr⁸ "Mr President, when Mr Juncker came to this Parliament in January to set out his presidency’s priorities, the UK Independence Party reminded him that he had spoken about a window of opportunity to cut a quick deal on the EU budget, including the British rebate.

Facemmo presente che il Presidente Juncker pensava di riuscire a rivedere in soli sei mesi accordi la cui negoziazione aveva richiesto cinque anni. Non so se il Presidente Juncker fosse ingenuo o presuntuoso, comunque sia, la scorsa settimana ne ha pagato lo scotto. I mezzi di comunicazione hanno affermato che Tony Blair ha potuto discutere di riduzione dei contributi quando tali discussioni erano superflue, cadendo così nella trappola tesa dal Presidente Chirac, che voleva distrarre l’attenzione dall’esito negativo del voto francese. Lo sconto infatti era ancora da discutere la settimana scorsa, perché il Presidente Juncker era deciso a far sì che così fosse. La sua finestra di opportunità era quasi chiusa mentre calava rapidamente il sipario sulla sua Presidenza. Il Presidente Juncker ha ragione su una cosa: l’UE è in crisi profonda e per questo possiamo guardare con gratitudine ai sei mesi in cui egli ne è stato alla guida. Desidero inoltre ringraziare il Presidente Juncker per quanto ha sentenziato sui voti negativi di Francia e Paesi Bassi. La sua citazione “Voglio ostinatamente credere che né i francesi né gli olandesi abbiano rifiutato il Trattato costituzionale” passerà alla storia come tipica espressione del comportamento dell’ politica dell’UE nel XXI secolo. Sono del Devon, regione i cui abitanti sono spesso considerati gente semplice. Nonostante la mia visione semplicistica della vita, o forse proprio per questo, la Costituzione europea mi sembra incredibilmente facile da capire. E’ estremamente chiaro che, se si desidera che il proprio paese mantenga l’indipendenza, si deve votare “no”. Francesi e olandesi dimostrano chiaramente la stessa capacità di comprensione degli abitanti del Devon.

Wij hebben er toen op gewezen dat de heer Juncker kennelijk in de veronderstelling verkeerde dat hij iets waarover vijf jaar onderhandeld was in slechts zes maanden kon wijzigen. Ik weet niet of de heer Juncker naïef was of arrogant, maar afgelopen week heeft hij zijn standpunt moeten herzien. Er is in de media gesuggereerd dat de heer Blair toeliet dat er over de Britse korting gedebatteerd werd terwijl dit niet nodig was, en dat hij daarmee in de val liep die president Chirac had opgezet, omdat deze de aandacht wilde afleiden van het Franse “nee”. Maar er zou afgelopen week hoe dan ook gesproken zijn over de korting, omdat de heer Juncker vastbesloten was ervoor te zorgen dat dit zou gebeuren. Zijn kans was bijna verkeken, aangezien binnen zeer afzienbare tijd het doek zou vallen voor zijn voorzitterschap. De heer Juncker heeft in één ding gelijk: de EU bevindt zich in een diepe crisis en daarvoor kunnen we dankbaar terugkijken op de zes maanden dat hij aan het roer stond. Ik zou de heer Juncker voorts willen bedanken voor zijn oordeel over het Franse en Nederlandse “nee”. Zijn uitspraak: “Ik wil koppig blijven geloven dat noch de Fransen, noch de Nederlanders het Grondwettelijk Verdrag verworpen hebben” zal de geschiedenis ingaan als een uitspraak die typerend is voor de houding van de politieke elite van de EU in de 21e eeuw. Ik kom uit Devon, en wij worden vaak beschouwd als simpele boerenlui. Ondanks – of misschien dankzij – mijn simplistische kijk op het leven vond ik de EU-Grondwet ongelooflijk gemakkelijk te begrijpen. Het is overduidelijk dat als je wilt dat je land zijn onafhankelijkheid behoudt, je “nee” moet stemmen.

I come from Devon, where we are often referred to as simple country folk. Despite – or perhaps because of – my simplistic outlook on life, I found the EU Constitution incredibly easy to understand. It is abundantly clear that if you wish to see your country retain its independence, you have to vote ‘no’. Clearly the French and the Dutch share a Devonian’s ability to understand it. What part of the word ‘no’ does Mr Juncker not understand?"@pl¹⁶ "Senhor Presidente, quando o Senhor Presidente em exercício Juncker veio a este Parlamento em Janeiro definir as prioridades da sua Presidência, o Partido da Independência do Reino Unido recordou-lhe que ele tinha falado de uma janela de oportunidade de se chegar rapidamente a acordo sobre o orçamento da UE, incluindo a correcção britânica. Salientámos o facto de o Senhor Presidente Juncker ter a impressão de que podia rever, em seis meses apenas, disposições que tinham levado cinco anos a negociar. Não sei se o Senhor Presidente Juncker estava a ser ingénuo ou arrogante, mas na semana passada ele contabilizou os custos dessa operação. Os meios de comunicação social sugeriram que o Primeiro-Ministro Tony Blair permitiu que a correcção fosse discutida quando essa discussão não era necessária, caindo dessa forma numa armadilha preparada pelo Presidente Chirac, que desejava desviar as atenções do voto francês no "Não". De facto, a questão da correcção britânica ia sempre ser discutida na semana passada, porque o Senhor Presidente em exercício Juncker estava decidido a que fosse. A sua janela de oportunidade estava quase fechada e o pano caía rapidamente sobre a sua Presidência. Numa coisa o Senhor Presidente em exercício Juncker tem razão: a UE está mergulhada numa profunda crise e podemos agradecê-la aos seis meses em que ele esteve ao leme desta embarcação. Também gostaria de agradecer ao Senhor Presidente Juncker o seu veredicto sobre os votos francês e neerlandês no "Não". A sua afirmação de que "quero acreditar obstinadamente que nem os Franceses nem os Neerlandeses rejeitaram o Tratado Constitucional" ficará na história como típica da atitude da elite política da UE no século XXI. Sou natural do Devon, e é frequente referirem-se a nós como gente simples da província. Apesar da - ou talvez por causa da - perspectiva simplista que tenho da vida, achei que a Constituição da UE era incrivelmente fácil de compreender. É por de mais evidente que quem desejar que o seu país mantenha a sua independência tem de votar "Não". Os Franceses e os Neerlandeses partilham claramente da capacidade devoniana de compreender a Constituição. Qual é a parte da palavra "Não" que o Senhor Presidente Juncker não compreende?"@pt¹⁷ "Mr President, when Mr Juncker came to this Parliament in January to set out his presidency’s priorities, the UK Independence Party reminded him that he had spoken about a window of opportunity to cut a quick deal on the EU budget, including the British rebate. We pointed out that Mr Juncker was under the impression that he could revise in just six months arrangements that had taken five years to negotiate. I do not know whether Mr Juncker was being naive or arrogant, but last week he counted the cost of it. It has been suggested in the media that Mr Blair allowed the rebate to be discussed when such discussions were not necessary, thereby falling into a trap laid by President Chirac who wished to distract attention from the French ‘no’ vote. In fact the rebate was always going to be discussed last week because Mr Juncker was determined it should be. His window of opportunity was almost closed, the curtain rapidly falling across his presidency. Mr Juncker is right about one thing: the EU is in profound crisis and for that we can look back in gratitude upon his six months at its helm.

När Jean-Claude Juncker kom till parlamentet i januari för att staka ut prioriteringarna för sitt ordförandeskap, påminde UK Independence Party honom om att han hade talat om ett tillfälle att nå en snabb överenskommelse om EU-budgeten, inklusive den brittiska rabatten. Vi påpekade att Juncker gav intrycket av att han på bara sex månader kunde omarbeta de bestämmelser som det hade tagit fem år att förhandla fram. Jag vet inte om Juncker var naiv eller arrogant, men förra veckan fick han betala priset för det. Medierna har låtit förstå att Tony Blair tillät diskussioner om rabatten när sådana diskussioner inte var nödvändiga, och föll därmed i president Jacques Chiracs fälla, som ville avleda uppmärksamheten från den franska ”nej-rösten”. Rabatten skulle ändå diskuteras förra veckan eftersom Jean-Claude Juncker var fast besluten att den skulle diskuteras. Hans gyllene tillfälle var nästan över, och ridån föll snabbt kring hans ordförandeskap. En sak har Juncker rätt i, nämligen att EU är i djup kris, och för det kan vi med tacksamhet titta tillbaka på hans sex månader vid rodret. Jag skulle också vilja tacka Juncker för hans bedömning av de franska och nederländska ”nej-rösterna”. Hans citat: ”Jag vill envetet tro att varken Frankrikes eller Nederländernas förkastande av konstitutionsfördraget kommer att gå till historien som typiskt för attityden hos EU:s politiska elit under 2000-talet.” Jag kommer från Devon, där vi ofta betraktas som enkelt folk från landet. Trots – eller kanske på grund av – min enkla livssyn fann jag EU-konstitutionen otroligt lätt att förstå. Det är helt uppenbart att om ni vill se ert land behålla sin självständighet måste ni rösta ”nej”. Tydligen delar fransmännen och nederländarna förmågan att förstå den med folket från Devon. Vilken del av ordet ”nej” är det som Juncker inte förstår?"@sv²¹
