"The British case is unique. But we must also acknowledge that support and passion for our common project has faded over the last decade in parts of our societies. Neither a simple call for more Europe nor a phase of mere reflection can be an adequate answer. To prevent the silent creeping erosion of our European project we have to be more focused on essentials and on meeting the concrete expectations of our citizens. We are convinced that it is not the existence of the Union that they object to but the way it functions. Our task is twofold: we have to strictly focus our joint efforts on those challenges that can only be addressed by common European answers, while leaving others to national or regional decision making and variation. And we must deliver better on those issues we have chosen to focus on."

He uses the word "our" a lot. does he mean the people or politicians?
He says "concrete expectations of our citizens". Which are what? Without these countries being asked if they want in or out. He doesn't know.
This is politicians talking about their goals, dreams, and jobs. At no time will they ask the French and Germans what they want.
I do however agree with the part about the strong nations joining together and dumping the poorer ones. It's a pity these buffoons made the poorer nations even poorer. Will they repay their debts or just dump them?
