"But it's also a presidency's right to give its opinion." Portugal's understanding, according to Lobo Antunes, is that it should focus on what it sees as the top priority of its EU presidency, which is finalising the reform treaty that would replace the bloc's failed constitution.
"Ali, takođe je pravo predsedavajućeg da iznese svoje mišljenje." Prema rečima Loboa Antunesa, Portugal smatra da bi trebalo da se posveti onome što vidi kao glavni prioritet svog predsedavanja EU, a to je finalizovanje reformskog ugovora kojim bi se zamenio propali ustav Unije.
