lpv:translated text	". Sweden should hold a referendum on the new constitution in order to obtain exceptions and an ‘opt-in’ clause (like the United Kingdom). With such an opt-in clause, for example, Sweden gets the right to decide itself whether, and if so when, to introduce the euro and to sign up to the Social Charter. However, this does not mean that I do not want a clear document as the basis for the EU which plainly defines the EU’s field of competence. Such a document must contain, among other things, rules on the distribution of seats in Parliament. I am therefore prepared to support this part of the proposal for a new EU constitution specifically relating to the distribution of seats. The fact is that unless the proposal on the distribution of seats comes into being in accordance with the proposal for a new EU constitution, there is a great risk that we will have to go back to the Treaty of Nice. The consequence of the Treaty of Nice is that Sweden gets only 18 seats, two fewer than Sweden gets under the proposal for a new EU constitution, and two fewer than Sweden is entitled to given the relative sizes of the EU Member States."@en1
