ersticken
Die Hinwendung der Europäischen Union zum globalen Kapitalismus wird uns alle ersticken. The European Union's embrace of global capitalism is an embrace that will smother us all. Dieser Verfassungsentwurf, der darauf abzielt, die Staaten zu ersticken, ist meiner Auffassung nach unvereinbar mit dem Ausdruck der Demokratie ist. This draft constitution, which seeks to smother individual states, is, in my opinion, incompatible with democratic expression. Wird sie die KMU des Lebensmittelsektors durch immer striktere Vorschriften ersticken, die die Bürger immer weniger hinzunehmen bereit sind? Will it smother small- and medium-sized food businesses with even stricter regulation, that will be tolerated by fewer and fewer citizens?
