This approach, by which I mean your approach, Mr Barroso, and your Commission's approach, has created a confidence gap between the leadership of the European Union and European citizens, which was clearly reflected in the last elections, with the massive numbers of European citizens who abstained.
Denne tilgang, og her mener jeg hr. Barrosos og Kommissionens tilgang, har skabt en tillidskløft mellem EU's lederskab og borgerne i EU, hvilket tydeligt sås ved det sidste valg til Parlamentet, hvor et markant antal borgere i EU udlod at stemme.
