"Mr President, we have made a considerable number of requests of the candidate countries – we have set a whole series of criteria – but from time to time it is good to reflect on our duties, and I should like to mention three of these.
First of all we need to ensure that the public understands what is at stake. Here it seems to me that there is a lack of information in our countries. Secondly, we need to rethink cohesion policy, taking into account the points mentioned by the Commission in its second report. But we should have one priority: to bring the costs of enlargement under control. Finally, we need to reflect on the issue of federalism and democracy in an enlarged European Union. It is true that this is what the Convention is now doing on a daily basis. Nevertheless, it remains the key problem: we need more democracy in Europe."@en1
