德国极右翼政党AfD（选择党）联合主席爱丽丝·魏德尔预计将于周三在欧洲议会公布该党的欧盟政策。
Alice Weidel, the co-leader of Germany's far-right AfD, is expected to present her party's policy for the EU at the European Parliament on Wednesday.
据新闻媒体《Politico》（政客）报道，AfD的欧盟政策文件并不寻求在第一阶段退出欧盟或欧元区。该党而是希望缩减欧盟的权力和预算。AfD政策文件包含哪些内容？
According to a report from news outlet Politico, the AfD policy paper on the EU does not seek to exit the bloc or the eurozone at first. The party rather wants to downsize the EU's powers and budget. What's in the AfD policy paper?
AfD主张不再举行欧洲议会直接选举，而是由各国议会委派代表。
Instead of direct European Parliament elections, the AfD would like to see delegates appointed by national parliaments.
AfD还将把欧盟委员会的职权范围限制在纯行政任务上，并以仲裁法庭取代欧洲法院。该极右翼政党将威胁削减德国对欧盟预算的缴款。
The AfD would also limit the scope of the European Commission to purely administrative tasks and supplant the European Court of Justice with an arbitration tribunal. The far right party would threaten to slash Germany's contributions to the EU budget.
在AfD执政下，德国将寻求在移民和社会政策等问题上获得欧盟法规豁免。AfD还可能寻求在农业和金融政策等其他领域获得退出权。
Germany under the AfD would seek exemptions from EU regulations regarding issues such as migration and social policy. The AfD may also seek opt-outs of other areas such as agriculture and financial policies.
如果欧盟不接受AfD的改革要求，该党将进而寻求就德国欧盟成员资格举行全民公投。
If the EU would not bend to the AfD's demands for reform, the party would then seek a German referendum on EU membership.
全民公投不切实际，因为这需要修改德国《基本法》，而修宪需要联邦议院和上议院联邦参议院各自以三分之二多数通过——这是一个极高的门槛。
A referendum would be unrealistic, as it would require a constitutional amendment to the German Basic Law to take place. An amendment would require a two-thirds majority vote in both the Bundestag and upper house Bundesrat — an extremely high threshold to meet.
AfD瞄准2029年下届联邦大选胜利 AfD希望能在2029年下届德国和欧洲选举时实施其欧盟政策。
AfD eyes victory in next federal elections in 2029 The AfD hopes that it can implement its EU policies in 2029, when the next German and European elections will take place.
最近的德国联邦大选民调显示AfD位居第一，但它必须与另一伙伴组建联合政府才能获得执政多数。由于基民盟等其他政党拒绝作为“防火墙”政策的一部分与AfD有任何合作，这很难实现。
Recent German federal election surveys show the AfD in first place but it would have to form a coalition with another partner to establish a ruling majority government. That's difficult when other parties such as the conservative Christian Democratic Union refuse to have any cooperation with the AfD as part of a "firewall" policy.
