Translate the following: I am thinking here of the word 'federalism' , and he said that everything depends on what one means by this. That is precisely the problem with several words that are used in the current debate. The European Union has always had certain federalist characteristics such as qualified majority voting instead of unanimity in decision making within the Council; a directly elected Parliament, an executive Commission which is independent from governments; Community law which takes precedence over national law, amongst other things. All of these are federal characteristics.
On the other hand, the European Union is a long way from being a centralised federation, like many of the world' s federations.

Me refiero a la palabra federalismo, y ha dejado claro que todo depende de lo que se quiera decir. Y precisamente, este problema se plantea con varias palabras que están siendo utilizadas en nuestro debate actual. La Unión Europea siempre ha tenido características federales: el voto con mayoría cualificada en lugar de la unanimidad para tomar decisiones en el seno del Consejo, un Parlamento elegido directamente, una Comisión Ejecutiva independiente del gobierno; el derecho comunitario que prevalece sobre el derecho nacional, son cosas que, entre otras, constituyen características federales. Sin embargo, está muy lejos de ser una federación centralizada, como lo son muchas federaciones en el mundo.
