overriding question
Explanation:
Hi Jacqueline, I've pruned your question down to the term 'dominante vraag', which you could translate into English as 'overriding question'. In your context, of course, the question will not become an overriding one.

-> "Dat geldt zeker voor de meest dominante vraag waarop de EU het begin van een antwoord moet formuleren: een gemeenschappelijk energiebeleid en, daarvan afgeleid, een min of meer consistente politiek jegens Rusland."
http://weblogs.nrc.nl/commentaar/2008/07/01/franse-inspirati...

-> "There is exactly one overriding question in contemporary philosophy ... How do we fit in? ..."
http://greatcloud.wordpress.com/2010/01/18/quotable-john-sea...

-> "“Wie wordt de premier?” zal een dominante vraag worden met een aantal nieuwe kandidaten (Verhagen, de kandidaat van D66, Wilders en wellicht ook nog Cohen en/of Kroes). Hoe eerder die verkiezingen worden gehouden hoe groter de kans is dat het vooral de strijd tussen Verhagen en Bos zal worden."
http://maurice.ooip.nl/2009/11/01/wanneer-verkiezingen/

-> "The overriding question in these cases should be: Has the entity claiming ownership of the patent made any attempts to capitalize on the patent"

this question won't become an issue


Explanation:
Without further context, the sentence reads: As long as cooperation is more important for the parties than their (individual) identities, then this question won't become an issue.

5. a point in question or a matter that is in dispute, as between contending parties in an action at law.
6. a point, matter, or dispute, the decision of which is of special or public importance: the political issues.
7. a point the decision of which determines a matter: The real issue in the strike was the right to bargain collectively.
8. a point at which a matter is ready for decision: to bring a case to an issue.
