The leader of the Conservative block in the Parliament, Hans-Gert Poettering, said that the failure to reach an agreement was not "tragic" in itself, but combined with the two "no" votes, Europe was "in a crisis".
Parlamenta Konservatīvo bloka līderis Hans-Gert Poettering sacīja, ka nespēja vienoties nav ‘’traģiska’’ pati par sevi, taču, ņemot vērā divus noraidošos balsojumus, Eiropa atrodas ‘’krīzes situācijā’’.
