lpv:translated text	". Turkey is a great nation and a key partner of the European Union. As such, any position regarding its accession to the Union must be characterised by a serious and responsible attitude. This is what leads me to say that if Turkey (still) indeed wishes to join the Union and not just to negotiate the most advantageous partnership with the best possible balance of power, serious discussions must be held on the basis of specific conditions: respect for democratic principles and for the rules governing human rights in the European Union; economic rapprochement and respect for the rules of healthy competition without dumping or disloyal manoeuvres; a fast democratic solution to the Kurdish question with “clear signs” at the earliest possible opportunity; the evacuation of military personnel from the occupied area of the Republic of Cyprus. Today, Turkey seems to be on a more positive path, and we must therefore negotiate without reservations but without closing our eyes. Personally, I am not very optimistic either regarding the real will of Turkey to join us or on its ability to fulfil the required conditions in the near future."@en1
