"So that there shall be no doubt that we are well disposed towards admitting the new candidate countries, we have voted in favour of the report. There are nonetheless quite a few aspects of the report and of the enlargement negotiations as a whole that are particularly open to criticism. Recital E, in particular, to the effect that ‘... the citizens of Europe do not understand the historic endeavour of the Union to bring peace, security and prosperity to the entire continent’ is strikingly arrogant.
In the roll-call vote, we voted against change, but we are not in principle opposed to changing the procedure for amending the treaties of the European Union. However, we have misgivings about whether the proposed change would make any practical difference at all to the result it is hoped to achieve by means of a possible convention model. On the positive side, however, is the fact that paragraph 2 talks about ‘devising alternative options as a precaution’."@en1
