I do not consider the Lisbon Treaty to be a good thing for Europe, for the freedom of Europe, or for the Czech Republic.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's not too late to stop the Lisbon Treaty.
Everyone should respect the sovereignty of the EU countries.
It is important to show our European partners that Portugal is a governable country.
For somebody who comes from Europe, I can only say if we give up this principle of territorial integrity of countries, then we will not be able to maintain the peaceful order of Europe that we've been able to achieve.
I don't want a Europe that is just a free-trade area attached to NATO. Even less do I want a Europe where it's everyone against everyone, and social and fiscal dumping replaces solidarity.
The idea that the EU is somehow the guarantor of peace on the continent - that is in itself rash, in my view, and risks undermining the vital role of Nato.
Our policy is European and Euro-Atlantic integration. There is no substitute for NATO.
I was a Member of the European Parliament for a period of time and I saw a lot of European laws and treaties.
People feel that in too many ways the EU is something that is done to them, not something over which they have a say.
I think it is one of the fundamentals, not only of the European Union but also of free trade, that competition is fair.
