"As you will appreciate, this is a real debate. In my first answer I said everything I could say as President-in-Office. The rest is very much my personal point of view as a member of the Belgian Government. I hope that you will make this distinction, especially as this is now a more spontaneous debate, which I like very much.
I believe subsidiarity is a very important notion but it is also a very difficult one because it is not very precise. It is more precisely defined in the protocol to the Treaty of Amsterdam than previously and is perfectly usable.
The local and intermediary levels are essential in bridging the gap between citizens and authorities. These levels and authorities have a very important role to play. In light of recent developments, as in Denmark and Ireland, this awareness has grown and will be better taken into account than perhaps in the past."@en1
