"Immediately following the failure of the referendum in the Netherlands, one of the more prominent European leaders came out in favour of a meeting of representatives of the European Union’s founding members. They would supposedly discuss the special responsibility of these founding members. From the formal aspect, of course, everyone has the right to meet with anyone else. Yet from the political aspect, it seems to me that this kind of initiative in this sensitive period of impasse in the European Union might also be rather delicate. It might send out a disturbing message or trigger the question of whether, a year after the enlargement of the European Union, certain states are more European than others. Do these states have a greater calling and greater responsibility than, for instance, the new Member States of the European Union? I count myself a proponent of the EU. I put this question because, in this sensitive period for the EU, I would like to promote the cause of all 25 Member States, regardless of when they joined the EU, in joining together to thrash out some sort of future for the EU."@en1
