A person from one of the candidate nations, which was previously a communist country, told me he did not want to substitute another big brother for the big brother that had existed in Moscow. He did not want somebody from Brussels to take away the power his country has become used to having. He was concerned, as are others, about Article 1, which talks about administering certain common competences on a federal basis. Deputy Bruton has already discussed this, but the person was concerned about the use of the phrase "federal basis" compared with the 1957 Treaty of Rome which talks about ever closer union. The word "federal" seems to give people the shivers.
