Sarebbe stato ragionevole scegliere solo una delle due politiche: avremmo potuto lavorare con impegno verso un ’ eventuale adesione oppure, dire fin dall ’ inizio “l ’ adesione non si realizzerà mai, quindi troviamo una soluzione alternativa ”.
Als we verstandig hadden gehandeld, hadden we een keuze gemaakt uit één van de volgende twee strategieën: of we hadden welwillend kunnen toewerken naar een uiteindelijke toetreding, of we hadden in het begin al gezegd dat er geen sprake zou kunnen zijn van een toetreding, maar dat we gezamenlijk wilden werken aan een alternatieve overeenkomst.
