lpv:spoken text	"While not able to endorse every dot and comma of this report, I support its broad thrust. If we are to make a success of enlargement a number of key reforms are essential. A Union unable to make decisions would not serve the purpose of existing or applicant states. Therefore we must increase the use of qualified majority voting in the Council in order to avoid paralysis in decision taking we must limit the number of Commissioners so that the Union's executive remains efficient and we must limit the number of MEPs to 700 to enable Parliament to function effectively. We must continue to improve the Community's capacity for external action and further democratise key areas of the Union's activities."@en1
