"Mr President, Prime Minister, the vast majority of Danes, in common with the British, do not want the EU Constitution because we do not wish to surrender our sovereignty to politicians who go about things as badly as the EU does at present. Mr Blair, you are a very popular politician in Denmark, but we shall respect you even more if you arrange for the Constitution to be buried for, as you well know, it does not solve a single one of the problems that engage the attention of Europeans and that you described very precisely.
I would thank you for your plans to amend the EU budget, which has now completely seized up. It is not the richest who pay most and the poorest who receive most. EU aid policy has lost all meaning when it comes both to agriculture and structures. What happens is that those countries that are industrious and willing to tax their citizens hard make payments to countries that do not implement reforms and do not wish to tax their people. We go on and on about research and development, but these are not what we spend money on. We look forward to the reforms you are to present, and I wish you good luck."@en1
