"The perception of enlargement and its consequences was there in the French debate, but it would be a misinterpretation to highlight this issue as the decisive cause of the "no" vote, when the sense of insecurity and social discontent stemming from high unemployment played a much bigger role," Rehn said.
“Percepcija proširenja i njegovih posledica bila je deo debate u Francuskoj, ali bi bilo pogrešno reći da je to pitanje bilo odlučujući uzrok negativnog ishoda referenduma; mnogo veću ulogu odigrali su osećaj nesigurnosti i socijalnog nezadovoljstva zbog visoke nezaposlenosti”, rekao je Ren.
