The message to the people who are now gloating and hoping that the european union will fall apart: it is not going to happen, neither is it in the interest of any member state.
Political and economic leaders have in principle already agreed that european integration is the way to go, and I trust them more than extremist partys, tabloid newspapers, or vocal activists from subsims GF.
The problem of the irish referendum is going to be handled, they are already working on a solution. Hopefully the Irish will come to their senses and discuss among themselves what they have just voted upon.

Of course, but a lot of people are never interested in unity, and the word vision does not exist for them.

Absolutely necessary. Remember how we could not handle the crisis in Yugoslavia without the help of the United States, which was really embarassing.

Someone with the responsibility to coordinate foreign policy and
not to replace the national ministers. If the nations cannot agree on a common policy he/she will be pretty unable to do anything.

Same. Will not replace the national leaders, or do you think that Sarkozy, Merkel, Berlusconi, etc are going to let that happen?
