An alternative would be to stipulate that, where a Member State requested that a decision nor­mally to be taken by a qualified majority should ex­ceptionally be taken unanimously, its request could be rejected only by a qualified majority.
En variant består i at fastsætte, at når en medlemsstat anmoder om. at en afgørelse, der normalt skulle træffes med kvalificeret flertal, undtagelsesvis træffes med enstemmighed, kan dens anmodning kun afvises med kvalificeret flertal.
