"Mr President, the Taoiseach says that he believes that the principle of the dual-majority system is now accepted. But it seems to me that it is not yet accepted in practice because one sees the various ministers trying to supplement the dual-majority formula with further qualifying clauses which would permit a specified number of Member States to form a blocking minority. My strong advice to the presidency would be to reject such superfluous complications. It would be far better to achieve a simple formula, say 55/55, which dispenses with the need for a third key. Europe cannot be built upon mathematical equations, but on political trust."@en1
