While referendum failures in France [JURIST report] and the Netherlands [JURIST report] led to a June EU "crisis summit" [press release regarding agenda] and a "period of reflection", Barroso said "There hasn't been much reflection so far." He added, however, "That . . . should not be a source of paralysis for Europe" and vowed to push ahead with economic reforms, security improvements, and environmental protection.
