lpv:spoken text	"I welcome the compromise motion on Turkey as striking the correct balance between the need to affirm Turkey as eligible for EU membership and the need for Turkey to undertake a number of economic and political reforms before their application becomes ‘live’. There is no question that Turkey has the right to join the EU, nor in my mind that one day it will. However, it must build on its recent reforms and ensure that full democracy, respect for human rights and the rights of minorities become the norm in Turkey. Turkey must continue to improve its relations with Greece and work actively to find a solution to the Cyprus issue. The Turkish Government’s efforts to find a political solution to the Kurdish question are encouraging. The commuting of the death sentence on Mr Öçalan and the formal abolition of the death penalty in Turkey would be welcome further steps."@en1
