Congratulations Ireland! -and congratulations Denmark! Once again a small country has put the brakes on the development of the European Union, and to the Irish people we say: Well done! Now it must be realised in the offices of governments that the peoples of Europe do not want a European cooperation under the terms dictated by the European Union. Through the Irish No, the Nice Treaty is annulled, and with it the changes of the EU-structures, which the Nice Treaty should secure - all under the pretence of the so-called East Enlargement. The charter of "fundamental rights", adopted together with the Nice Treaty, represent the preparation of a genuine constitution for the EU to be adopted in 2004. This also must be stopped now! The changes of structures within the Union, through new rules of voting, and the abolition of the right of a veto in important matters, would have diminished the influence of the smaller countries significantly. At the same time, the Rome Treaty's goal of a "constantly closer cooperation" would actually have had an impact for instance on the tax policy of the member-countries, and thereby on the public budgets. In Denmark, the "measures for the freedom of movement of labour" would have gained a still stronger influence on the Danish labour market model, - meaning our collective rights. In spite of this, the Danish people was not given the choice of a referendum. That is why our joy in the Irish No is double. It is as great an encouragement to the Danish and the European resistance, as was the Danish No to the Euro last year. Let us enforce the European resistance - we shall meet in G?teborg!Stop the EU!
