The analysis of our role in Europe since 1973 has always classified us as strong pro-Europeans. For a number of reasons, support for our pro-European stance has recently declined substantially. Where once it had 70% approval, that figure has now declined. I agree with the Minister of State's analysis that this is probably our own fault for not explaining the European message adequately over the years. We became complacent, as evidenced by the result of the first referendum on the Treaty of Nice. It is good that we have re-established ourselves in a positive light in Europe. One wonders what the headlines would have been in Europe and at home if we had taken the wrong decision last month.
